Selected Geotechnical Papers of James K. Mitchell: Civil Engineering Classics

Thirty-five papers represent the wide range of Mitchell's (a geotechnical engineer) research, including experimental and analytic studies of soil behavior related to geotechnical and geo-environmental problems, soil improvement and ground reinforcement, physiochemical phenomena in soils, the stress-strain time behavior of soils, in situ measurement of soil properties, and mitigation of ground failure during earthquakes. Arranged chronologically, the papers span from 1956 to 1998. Charts and diagrams are included. No index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
