John Atkinson

Fundamentals of Ground Engineering

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book contains brief summaries of the key principles, theories, definitions, and analyses of geotechnics. It sets out the basic principles and theories of soil mechanics and the common analyses for slopes, foundations, and walls and includes sections on ground modeling and selection of design parameters. It does not go into detailed explanations and justifications and it does not derive formulae and analyses but it gives extensive references to the longer standard texts which readers can consult for detailed explanations.
