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, Lambe's 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 who are 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.
