N1  - Includes bibliographical references and index; Soil strength -- Groundwater flow and control -- One dimensional compression and consolidation -- Triaxial test and soil behaviour -- Calculation of soil settlements using elasticity methods -- Plasticity and limit equilibrium methods for earth pressures and retaining walls
N2  - "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.
