Core Principles of Soil Mechanics
Core Principles of Soil Mechanics is a practical guide to the key concepts and latest developments in the field of soil mechanics.
Soil Mechanics
This book provides an up-to-date coverage of the basic principles of soil mechanics for undergraduate and equivalent students of civil engineering and geotechnics. Structural engineers, foundation, environmental and mining engineers and engineering geologists will also find it an invaluable source of reference. The main aims are to provide the reader with a good understanding of the nature of soil, an appreciation of soil behaviour and insight into how the principles are applied in the practical engineering context. It is the author's view that in addition to having a sound knowledge of the scientific and mathematical aspects of soil mechanics, a fully trained geotechnical engineer also requires a knowledge of geology, soil profiles and groundwater conditions. More emphasis is therefore placed on the application of soil mechanics in the ground, rather than on the behaviour of soils in the artificial environment of the laboratory. There are many detailed and instructive line illustrations included in all chapters, together with useful and informative tabular data. Worked examples appear in most chapters and there are numerous self-test problems with answers provided.
Fundamentals of Fibre-Reinforced Soil Engineering
This book is intended to serve as a one-stop reference on fibre-reinforced soils. Over the past 30-35 years, the engineering behaviour of randomly distributed/oriented fibre-reinforced soil, also called simply fibre-reinforced soil, has been investigated in detail by researchers and engineers worldwide. Waste fibres (plastic waste fibres, old tyre fibres, etc.) create disposal and environmental problems. Utilization of such fibres in construction can help resolve these concerns. Research studies and some field applications have shown that the fibres can be utilized in large quantities in geotechnical and civil engineering applications in a cost-effective and environmentally friendly manner. This book covers a complete description of fibres, their effects when included within a soil or other similar materials such as the fly ash, and their field applications. It gives a detailed view of fibre-reinforced soil engineering. The book will be useful to students, professional, and researchers alike, and can also serve as a text for graduate coursework and professional development programs
