What is Geotechnical Engineering : Principles and Practices about?
Geotechnical Engineering: Principies and Practices is primarily intended for use as a textbook for undergraduate civil engineering students enrolled in an introductory course. It also serves well as a reference book for students in follow-on courses and for practicing engineers. As the title infers, this book covers both "principies" (the fundamentals of soil mechanics) and "practices" (the application of these principies to practica! engineering problems). This integrated approach gives the reader a broader understanding of geotechnical engineering and provides a foundation for future studies. This book is the product of thirteen years experience teaching undergraduate geotechnical engineering courses. It is an expanded version of course notes I originally developed for m y students, and thus reflects teaching methods that have worked well at Cal Poly. In addition, the manuscript for this book was extensively tested in the classroom befare going to press. This classroom testing allowed me to evaluate and refine the text itself, the example problems, the homework problems, and the software. Key features of this book include: • An entire chapter on engineering geology (Chapter 2). T
