About the Book
Geotechnical Engineering: A Practical Problem Solving Approach covers all of
the major geotechnical topics in the simplest possible way adopting a
hands-on approach with a very strong practical bias. You will learn the
material through several worked examples that are representative of
realistic field situations whereby geotechnical engineering principles are
applied to solve real-life problems. There are a few carefully selected
review exercises at the end of each chapter with answers given whenever
possible. Also included are closed-book quizzes that should be completed
within the specified times and will make you think and point you to what
you have missed.
About The Eureka Series
The books in the J. Ross Publishing Eureka Series are engineering
textbooks for a new generation. Engineers are problem solvers. Developing
problem-solving skills is one of the key learning outcomes expected of
engineering students and the Eureka Series of books provides just that. 60-
70% of each book is devoted to practical problem solving with 30-40%
covers fundamental concepts. Similar to problem-based learning, the
subject material is integrated with extensive worked examples, quizzes
and review exercises. The writing style is lean and simple while not
compromising on the breadth or depth of the subject matter.
Books in the Eureka Series are written by renowned scholars with
outstanding university careers who have also made significant
contributions to teaching and learning. The books are written and
presented in a reader-friendly style using symbols to identify the summary
points, reference type questions, difficult problems, and quizzes.
