SUMMARY

Devised with a focus on problem solving, this volume bridges the gap between geotechnical and soil mechanics material covered in university civil engineering courses, and the advanced topics required for practicing Civil, Structural, and Geotechnical engineers. By giving newly qualified engineers the information needed to apply their extensive theoretical knowledge, and informing more established practitioners of the latest developments, this book enables readers to confidently approach problems. Where various competing solutions are proposed, the author systematically leads through each option, to ensure the reader can solve real-world problems in a similar manner. -- From publisher's web site
