<br/><br/> "This is a rigorous and up-to-date textbook covering the soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering topics typically included in a university course. It encourages students to develop an understanding of the fundamentals of soil mechanics, by building a robust and adaptable framework of ideas to support and accommodate the analytical tools needed to solve the more complex problems that confront the practicing geotechnical engineer.
