Problem Solving in Soil Mechanics

Written for university students taking first-degree courses in civil engineering, environmental and agricultural engineering, Problem Solving in Soil Mechanics stimulates problem-solving learning as well as facilitating self-teaching. Generally assuming prior knowledge of subject, necessary basic information is included to make it accessible to readers new to the topic.

Filled with worked exmaples, new and advanced topics and with a flexible structure that means it can be adapted for use in two, three and four year undergraduate courses in soil mechanics, this book is also be a valuable resource for the practising professional engineer as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students.

Primarily designed as a supplement to Soil Mechanics: Basic Concepts and Engineering Applications, this book can be used by students as an independent problem-solving text, since there are no specific references to any equations or figures in the main book.
