About this Book:
Basic and applied soil mechanics is
intended for use as an up-to-date text for the two-course sequence of soil
mechanics and foundation engineering offered to undergraduate civil engineering
students.
It provides a modern coverage of the
engineering properties of soils and makes extensive reference to the indian
standard codes of practice while discussing practices in foundation
engineering. some topics of special interest, like the schmertmann procedure
for extrapolation of field compressibility, determination of secondary
compression, lambes stress - path concept, pressure meter testing and
foundation practices on expansive soils including certain widespread myths,
find a place in the text.the book includes over 160 fully solved examples,
which are designed to illustrate the application of the principles of soil
mechanics in practical situations.
Extensive use of si units, side by side
with other mixed units, makes it easy for the students as well as professionals
who are less conversant with the si units, gain familiarity with this system of
international usage.
Inclusion of about 160 short-answer
questions and over 400 objective questions in the question bank makes the book
useful for engineering students as well as for those preparing for gate, upsc
and other qualifying examinations. In addition to serving the needs of the
civil engineering students, the book will serve as a handy reference for the
practising engineers as well.
