It includes complete coverage of soil mechanics and site investigations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis new edition is a well-designed balance of theory and practice, emphasizing conceptual understanding and design applications. It contains illustrations, applications, and hands-on examples that continue across chapters. Soil mechanics is examined with full explanation of drained versus undrained loading, friction and dilatancy as sources of shear strength, phase transformation, development of peak effective stress ratios, and critical-state and residual shear strength. The design and execution of site investigations is evaluated with complete discussion of the CPT and SPT. Additional topics include the construction, settlement and bearing capacity of shallow foundations, as well as the installation, ultimate resistance and settlement of deep foundations. Both traditional knowledge and methods and approaches based on recent progress are available. Analysis and design of retaining structures and slopes, such as the use of slope stability software stability calculations, is included.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book is ideal for advanced undergraduate students, graduate students and practicing engineers and researchers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rodrigo Salgado\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138197645\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138197640\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 964\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 1.96d","brand":"Rodrigo Salgado","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44128682836223,"sku":"9781138197640","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e0bb1593-2560-4c13-a4d9-85efd84e6e97.jpg?v=1687459965","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-engineering-of-foundations-slopes-rodrigo-salgado-9781138197640","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
