ABOUT THE BOOK
|
Theoretical Soil Mechanics written by Karl Terzaghi, Late Professor of
the Practice of Civil Engineering, Harvard University, Lecturer and Research
Consultant in Civil Engineering, University of Illinois, is published by John
Wiley and Son Inc.
The contents of this volume has been limited to theories which have
stood the test of experience and which are applicable, under certain conditions
and restrictions, to the approximate solutions of practical problems.
Besides providing the reader with a working knowledge of useful methods of
analysis, theoretical soil mechanics also serves an important educational
purpose. The radical separation between theory and application makes it easy to
impress upon the reader the conditions for validity of the different mental
operations known as theories. Once the reader has grasped, on the basis of the
results of the analysis, the manifold factors which determine the behaviour of
simple, ideal materials under the influence of internal and external forces, he
will be less likely to succumb to the omnipresent danger of unwanted
generalizations based on inadequate data.
ABOUT
THE AUTHOR
THE AUTHOR
Karl von Terzaghi (October
2,1883–October 25,1963) was an Austrian civil engineer and geologist known as
the “father of soil mechanics” . In 1883, Karl von Terzaghi was born
the first child of Army Lieutenant-Colonel Anton von Terzaghi and Amalia Eberle
in Prague, in what is now the Czech Republic. Upon his father’s retirement from
the army, the family moved to Graz, Austria. The American Society of Civil
Engineers established in 1960 the Karl Terzaghi Award to an “author of
outstanding contributions to knowledge in the fields of soil mechanics,
subsurface and earthwork engineering, and subsurface and earthwork
construction”. The Terzaghi and Peck Library, which is managed by the
Norwegian Geotechnical Institute, in Oslo, Norway, holds an extensive
collection of his papers. The Mission Dam in British Columbia, Canada, was
renamed in his honor as the Terzaghi Dam in 1965.
