<br/><br/> "Covers the basic principles of soil mechanics, illustrating why the properties of soil are important, the techniques used to understand and characterise soil behavior and how that knowledge is then applied in construction. The authors have endeavoured to define and discuss the principles and concepts concisely, providing clear, detailed explanations, and a well-illustrated text with diagrams, graphs and tables."--Back cover.
