Designed for civil engineering students taking courses that introduce Geotechnology followed by a study of Foundations!

For the first time, a pioneering approach for predicting the nonlinear behavior of laterally loaded long vertical and batter piles. The latest developments in the design of drilled pier foundations and mechanically stabilized earth retaining walls are explained.

Geotechnical Engineering 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
  • shear strength characteristics of soils
Geotechnical Engineering will prove an essential resource for practicing civil, geoenvironmental, geotechnical, environmental, chemical, soil, and foundation engineers; geochemists, geophysicists, and biogeochemists; and soil scientists and agronomists; and an invaluable text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
