Preface Pile design is mostly about application of engineering concepts ratherthan use of elaborate mathematical techniques. Most pile design workcan be done with simple arithmetic. I have provided necessary equationsand concepts in a manner so that the reader would be able torefer to them with ease. All chapters are provided with plethora ofdesign examples. The […]

A descriptive, elementary introduction to geotechnical engineering – with applications to civil engineering practice. *focuses on the engineering classification, behavior, and properties of soils necessary for the design and construction of foundations and earth structures. *introduces vibratory and dynamic compaction, the method of fragments, the Schmertmann procedure for determining field compressibility, secondary compression, liquefaction, and
This new book by Marc Pansu and Jacques Gautheyrou provides a synopsis of the analytical procedures for the physicochemical analysis of soils. It is written to conform to analytical standards and quality control. It focuses on mineralogical, organic and inorganic analyses, but also describes physical methods when these are a precondition for analysis. It will

A simplified approach to applying the Finite Element Method to geotechnical problemsPredicting soil behavior by constitutive equations that are based on experimental findings and embodied in numerical methods, such as the finite element method, is a significant aspect of soil mechanics. Engineers are able to solve a wide range of geotechnical engineering problems, especially inherently
