Soil mechanics - William Powrie

Soil Mechanics covers the soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering topics typically included in university courses in civil engineering and related subjects. Physical rather than mathematical arguments are used in the core sections wherever possible.New for the second edition, an accompanying website containing the lecturers' solutions manual expands the flexibility of this successful course text book. The basic and more advanced material on soil strength and behaviour is separated out to aid understanding and the whole book is laid out to enable clarity of understanding and ease of reference for both student and lecturer.
