While there are many textbooks on the market that cover geotechnical engineering basics, Geotechnical Engineering is unique in that it is the only textbook available that is rooted within the three phase unsaturated soil mechanics framework. Written by world-renowned, award-winning geotechnical engineering expert Dr. Jean-Louis Briaud, this Second Edition offers the most comprehensive coverage of geotechnical engineering topics on the market, from theory to real-world application.
In addition to many updates and revisions, a major chapter has been added, covering 22 geo-engineering case histories. They are:
- Washington Monument (shallow mat foundation)
- Rissa Landslide (slope stability)
