Mitchell during his extraordinary career as a geotechnical engineer. In addition to teaching, Mitchell's career encompassed geotechnical projects ranging from research on hazardous waste landfill stability at Kettleman Hills in California, to lunar soil analysis for NASA Apollo Missions, to working with the Mayor of San Francisco following the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake. He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering and the National Academy of Science.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTopics include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eexperimental and analytic studies of soil behavior related to geotechnical and geo-environmental problems;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esoil improvement and ground reinforcement, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ephysicochemical phenomena in soils, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe stress-strain time behavior of soils, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ein situ measurement of soil properties, and \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emitigation of ground failure risk during earthquakes. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eASCE's Engineering Classics series presents selected papers of lasting importance by eminent engineers who have made outstanding contributions to their field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American Society of Civil Engineers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47025899831536,"sku":"9780784405673","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780784405673","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
