Synopsis

This fifth edition of a text for undergraduate civil engineering students has been slightly reduced in length, and contains new material on shallow foundations, braced cuts, drilled shafts, correlations for skin friction, and correlations for the calculation of point-bearing capacity with SPT and CPT results. Coverage progresses from geotechnical properties of soil through soil improvement and ground modification. Exercises and answers are included. The author is affiliated with California State University. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
