Soil Mechanics Si Version

The book covers soil problems encountered in civil engineering; the nature of soil; dry soil; soils wherein the pore water is either stationary or flowing, and under steady and transient conditions. It uses si units throughout. · soil problems in civil engineering · a preview of soil behavior · description of an assemblage of particles · description of an individual soil particle · normal stress between soil particles · shear resistance between soil particles · soil formation · stresses within a soil mass · tests to measure stress-strain properties · general aspects of stress-strain behavior · shear strength of cohesion less soil · stress-strain relationships · earth retaining structures and slopes · shallow foundations · dynamic loading of soil · effective stress concept · one-dimensional fluid flow · two-dimensional fluid flow · soil permeability and filter requirements · general aspects of drained stress-strain behavior · drained shear strength · stress-strain relations for drained conditions · earth slopes with drained conditions · shallow foundations with drained conditions · pore pressures developed during undrained loading · consolidation theory · drained and undrained stress-strain behavior · undrained shear strength · stress-strain relations for undrained conditions · earth retaining structures and earth slopes with undrained conditions · shallow foundations with undrained conditions · deep foundations · the improvement of soil
