Problem Solving in Soil Mechanics

<P>Written for university students taking first-degree courses in civil engineering, environmental and agricultural engineering, <EM>Problem Solving in Soil Mechanics</EM> stimulates problem-solving learning as well as facilitating self-teaching. Generally assuming prior knowledge of subject, necessary basic information is included to make it accessible to readers new to the topic. </P><P>Filled with worked examples, new and advanced topics and with a flexible structure that means it can be adapted for use in second, third and fourth year undergraduate courses in soil mechanics, this book is also a valuable resource for the practising professional engineer as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students. </P><P>Primarily designed as a supplement to <EM>Soil Mechanics: Basic Concepts and Engineering Applications</EM>, this book can be used by students as an independent problem-solving text, since there are no specific r
