About the Book
Geotechnical Engineering: Principles and Practices of Soil Mechanics
and Foundation Engineering
V.N.S. Murthy, Consulting Geotechnical Engineer, Bangalore,
India||Consulting Geotechnical Engineer, Bangalore, India
Series: Civil and Environmental Engineering
Current and complete coverage of soil characteristics from a
construction point of view.
A must have reference for any engineer involved with foundations, piers,
and retaining walls, this remarkably comprehensive volume illustrates soil
characteristic concepts with examples that detail a wealth of practical
considerations, It covers the latest developments in the design of drilled
pier foundations and mechanically stabilized earth retaining wall and
explores a pioneering approach for predicting the nonlinear behavior of
laterally loaded long vertical and batter piles.
As complete and authoritative as any volume on the subject, it discusses
soil formation, index properties, and classification; soil permeability,
seepage, and the effect of water on stress conditions; stresses due to
surface loads; soil compressibility and consolidation; and shear strength
characteristics of soils.
While this book is a valuable teaching text for advanced students, it is one
that the practicing engineer will continually be taking off the shelf long after
school lets out. Just the quick reference it affords to a huge range of tests
and the appendices filled with essential data, makes it an essential
addition to an civil engineering library.
