The first edition explained and illustrated fallacies in past work of engineering geologists, and laid groundwork for the understanding that should form the basis of modern geotechnical design.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith the changing environment, and the increasing size of construction projects, engineers now need a better understanding of ground behaviour to prevent future catastrophes such as the 1976 Teton Dam failure shown on the cover. The further additions in this book will help geotechnical engineers acquire this knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDisturbed Soil Properties and Geotechnical Design, Second edition\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eprovides an outline of the energy-based Cam-clay approach that can predict geotechnical deformations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eillustrates further fallacies in commonly used c-φ Coulomb soil mechanics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003edescribes the use of centrifuge modelling in geotechnical design, based on examples from the last four decades\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eOnce armed with the simple concepts of wet\/weepy and dry\/thirsty sides of the critical state line, readers will better understand if soil will tend to contract or dilate in drained shearing, and if pore pressures caused by undrained shearing will be positive or negative\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFull of technical and personal insights, this is a rewarding book that forces the rethinking of modern geotechnical engineering.
