Publisher's Synopsis
This book introduces the basic principles of engineering behaviour of soils. An emphasis is made on explaining various concepts rather than giving the procedures. After reading this book, students should be able to: Give an engineering classification of a soilUnderstand the principle of effective stress, and then calculate stresses that influence soil behaviourCalculate water flow through ground and understand the effects of seepage on the stability of structures. This textbook is primarily intended for the undergraduate students of civil engineering. Key FeaturesNumerous numerical solved examplesObjective type questions (with answers) at the end of each chapterUse of SI systems of unitsRead more
