Geotechnical Engineering Principles and Practices of Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering

There are 21 chapters i n this books The first chapter trace s the historical background ofthe
subject and the second deals with the formation and mineralogical composition o f soils.
Chapter 3 covers th e inde x properties an d classification of soil. Chapters 4 and 5 explain soi l permeability, seepage,
an d th e effect o fwateron stress conditions in soil _
Stresses developed in soil due to imposed surface loads , compressibility and consolidation characteristics, and shear
strength characteristics o f soil are dealt with in Chapters 6,7 , and 8 respectively. The first eight chapters develop the
necessary tools for computing compressibility an d strength characteristics o f soils.
