Preface

We both have been quite successful as geotechnical engineering teachers. In Geotechnical Engi-

neering: A Practical Problem Solving Approach, we have tried to cover every major geotechnical topic in the simplest way possible. We have adopted a hands-on approach with a strong, prac-

tical bias. You wiU learn the material through several worked examples that take geotechnical

engineering principles and apply them to realistic problems that you are likely to encounter in

real-life field situations. This is OUf attempt to wr:i te a straightforward, no- nonsense, geotechni-

cal engineering textbook that will appeal to a new generation of students. This is said with no disrespect to the variety of geotechnical engineering textbooks already available-each serves

a purpose.
