Geotechnical Engineering 2nd Edition

This book is about the mechanics of soils and structures interacting with soils. It has been primarily designed as a classroom teaching book, but it also covers more advanced aspects, usually included in upper level courses on civil and geotechnical engineering.
The behaviour of soil is today approached on sound and rational bases, using concepts of continuum mechanics, and experimental evidences prove that it is a significant and powerful procedure.
Soils are natural materials and the solution of engineering problems requires the knowledge of the properties of real soils. These properties have to be investigated, rather then being prescribed, so that it is necessary to be familiar with testing techniques and to be aware of the relevance of field investigation.
However, both phases of programming and interpreting experimental tests require a conceptual framework, and for this reason reference has been made throughout this book to the Critical State Theory. The central idea of this theory is that volume changes play a role so important as the effective stresses and it is the relation between the initial
state and the critical state that has a major influence on soil behaviour. Moreover, this theory also provides a link between soil mechanics and previously grasped concepts as elasticity and plasticity, that in turn are extensively used in two final chapters, aimed at applications.
