John Atkinson

The Mechanics of Soils and Foundations

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Suitable for undergraduates of geotechnical engineering for civil engineers, this textbook sets out the basic theories of soil mechanics; combining both classical and critical state theories. It describes soil behaviour by relatively simple equations with clear parameters. It also includes experimental demonstrations to illustrate the principles.
