Fundamentals of Soil Behavior, 3rd Edition (0471463027) cover image

  •  A thoroughly updated, expanded and revised new edition of one of the most distinguished publications in geotechnical engineering.

  • Greater emphasis on practical problems involving advanced soil behavior. 

  •  New chapter on time effects on soil deformation at different strengths and strain levels. 

  •  New sections on emerging topics in soil behavior, including Environmental Geotechnics, biological influences on soil behavior, soil fracturing, partially saturated soils, the effects of time, and Geochemical problems.

  • New sections and expanded coverage of micro-mechanical behavior at the particulate level and its influences on engineering properties at the macro-scale, soil deformation at different strain levels.

  •  More useful tables and graphs providing correlations among composition, classification, state, and static and dynamic properties.

  • Each chapter has been reviewed and revised, some have been combined to produce a better organization and flow of material.

  • With this edition, a supplemental set of questions and problems has been added to each chapter.
