xxvii, 1028 pages : illustrations ; 28 cm. "While there are many textbooks on the market that cover geotechnical engineering basics, Geotechnical Engineering: Unsaturated and Saturated Soils, Second Edition is unique in that it is the only textbook available that is rooted within the three phase unsaturated soil mechanics framework. Written by world-renowned, award-winning geotechnical engineering expert Dr. Jean-Louis Briaud, this Second Edition offers the most comprehensive coverage of geotechnical engineering topics on the market from theory to real-world application. This new edition includes new chapters on tunnels, earth dams and embankments, and instrumentation. An all-new case studies chapter features well-known projects such as the Washington Monument, Seattle airport, Eiffel Tower and many more. This edition will include solutions to the end-of-chapter problems. From site investigation and geophysics to earthquake engineering and deep foundations, Geotechnical Engineering is an ideal resource for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses as well as practicing professionals in geotechnical engineering and soil mechanics"-- Introduction -- Case histories -- Engineering geology -- Soil components and weight-volume parameters -- Soil classification -- Rocks -- Site investigation, drilling, and sampling -- In situ tests -- Elements of geophysics -- Laboratory tests -- Stresses, effective stress, water stress, air stress, and strains -- Problem-solving methods -- Soil constitutive models -- Flow of fluid and gas through soils -- Deformation properties -- Shear strength properties -- Thermodynamics for soil problems -- Shallow foundations -- Deep foundations -- Slope stability -- Compaction -- Retaining walls -- Earthquake geoengineering -- Erosion of soils and scour problems -- Geoenvironmental engineering -- Geosynthetics -- Soil improvement -- Technical communications.
