Preface
The study of rock and soil as construction and load-bearing material goes hand in hand with the background knowledge of the geological process of formation and the environmental effects on such formations. A sound understanding of the fundamental principles and design applications of soil mechanics is needed to predict the behaviour and performance of soil as a construction material or as a supporting medium for engineering structures.
The material presented in this book has been designed to suit the needs of undergraduate students. At the end of each chapter, the key points are presented in a nutshell followed by review questions, both objective and descriptive. There is also a comprehensive range of worked examples based mostly on field ...
