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"-- Provided by publisher.| Item type | Current location | Home library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
