Geotechnical Engineering: Principles and Practices of Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering

by V.N.S. Murthy

Covering the latest developments in the design of drilled pier foundations and mechanically stabilized earth retaining walls are explained, Geotechical Engineering: Principles and Practices of Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering, explores a pioneering approach for predicting the nonlinear behavior of laterally loaded long vertical and batter piles. Well-suited for use as a textbook and a professional reference, the book discusses soil formation, index properties, and classification; soil permeability, seepage, and the effect of water on stress conditions; stresses due to surface loads; soil compressibility and consolidation; and shear strength characteristics of soils.
