Craig's Soil Mechanics continues to evolve and remain the definitive text for civil engineering students worldwide. It covers fundamental soil mechanics and its application in applied geotechnical engineering from A to Z and at the right depth for an undergraduate civil engineer, with sufficient extension material for supporting MSc level courses, and with practical examples and digital tools to make it a useful reference work for practising engineers.
This new edition now includes:
The electronic resources on the book's companion website are developed further, with the addition of two new spreadsheet numerical analysis tools and improvement of existing tools from the Eighth Edition. Using these, readers can take real soil test data, interpret its mechanical properties and apply these to a range of common geotechnical design problems at ultimate and serviceability limiting states.
Jonathan Knappett is Reader and Discipline Lead for Civil Engineering at the University of Dundee in Scotland. His teaching includes courses in advanced soil and rock mechanics and geotechnical design at BEng, MEng and MSc level, in addition to advanced teaching in earthquake and offshore geotechnical engineering.
Bob Craig is a retired lecturer from the University of Dundee in Scotland.
