This book is intended
primarily to serve the needs of the undergraduate civil engineering student and
aims at the clear explanation, in adequate depth, of the fundamental principles
of soil mechanics. The understanding of these principles is considered to be an
essential foundation upon which future practical experience in geotechnical
engineering can be built. The choice of material involves an element of
personal opinion but the contents of this book should cover the requirements of
most undergraduate courses to honours level as well as parts of some Masters
courses.

It is assumed that the
reader has no prior knowledge of the subject but has a good understanding of
basic mechanics. The book includes a comprehensive range of worked examples and
problems set for solution by the student to consolidate understanding of the
fundamental principles and illustrate their application in simple practical
situations. Both the traditional and limit state methods of design are included
and some of the concepts of geotechnical engineering are introduced. The
different types of field instrumentation are described and a number of case
studies are included in which the differences between prediction and
performance are discussed. References are included as an aid to the more
advanced study of any particular topic. It is intended that the book will serve
also as a useful source of reference for the practising engineer.
