Geotechnical Engineering: Principles and Practices, 2/e, is ideal or junior-level soil mechanics or introductory geotechnical engineering courses. This
introductory geotechnical engineering textbook explores both the
principles of soil mechanics and their application to engineering
practice. It offers a rigorous, yet accessible and easy-to-read
approach, as well as technical depth and an emphasis on understanding
the physical basis for soil behavior. The
second edition has been revised to include updated content and many new
problems and exercises, as well as to reflect feedback from reviewers
and the authors’ own experiences.
