Fundamentals Of Soil Behavior, 3Rd Ed.
Synopsis "Fundamentals Of Soil Behavior, 3Rd Ed."
The improved, new edition of the classic book on the physicalproperties of soilFundamentals of Soil Behavior, Third Edition is the thoroughlyupdated, expanded, and revised edition of this highly distinguishedpublication in geotechnical engineering. Filled with useful tablesand graphs illustrating correlations among composition,classification, state, and static and dynamic properties, thisThird Edition continues the tradition of providing the latestinformation on the physical properties of soil and the fundamentalsof its behavior over time.Students and busy professionals will connect with this newedition's timesaving, streamlined format and its greater emphasison practical exercise problems involving advanced concepts of soilbehavior. Other must-read features of this Third Editioninclude:* New, expanded material on micro-mechanical behavior at theparticulate level and its influences on engineering properties atthe macro-scale* A new chapter on time effects on soil deformation at differentstress and strain levels* New coverage of such important topics as environmentalgeotechnics, biological influences on soil behavior, soilfracturing, the effects of time, and geochemical problems* Sets of questions and problems at the end of each chapter, afeature not available in prior editionsFundamentals of Soil Behavior, Third Edition is an essential textfor graduate students and researchers as well as a peerlessreference for geotechnical, environmental, and civil engineers andgeologists.
