Geotechnical Engineering: A Practical Problem Solving Approach

Geotechnical Engineering: A Practical Problem Solving Approach Covers all of the major geotechnical topics in the simplest possible way adopting a hands-on approach with a very strong practical bias. Engineers are problem solvers. Developing problem-solving skills is one of the key learning outcomes expected of engineering students and this book provides just that. 60-70% of the book is devoted to practical problem solving and 30-40% covers fundamental concepts.
