Ideal for beginners, SOILS AND FOUNDATIONS, 8/e presents all essential aspects of soils and foundations in as simple and direct a manner as possible. Filled with worked examples, step-by-step solutions, and hands-on practice problems, it emphasizes design and practical applications supported by basic theory. Throughout, the authors promote learning through the extensive use of diagrams, charts, and illustrations. Coverage includes: engineering properties of soils: soil exploration, compaction, stabilization, and consolidation; water in soil; subsurface stresses; settlement of structures; shear strength; shallow and deep foundations; lateral earth pressure; retaining structures, and stability analysis of slopes. This edition's new coverage includes Pressuremeter and Dilatometer tests, water flow characterization with Bernoulli's Theorem, dewatering, uplift pressure on dams, and subsurface stresses caused by overlying soil masses.

I would recommend this as a supplemental text to anyone taking Geotech, if it's not the required book. Review: Excellent - Brand New Book, love it. Excellent service. Less thicker than the previous edition, but has everything printed more conveniently. Im happy with this purchase

Clear examples and well organized by soil condition, this is by far one of my favorite textbooks. I would recommend this as a supplemental text to anyone taking Geotech, if it's not the required book.

Thank you Professor Liu
This book is truly awesome...if you are enrolled in an Engineering course with an instructor to explain the equations. I was imagining more general, basic information with nice pictures and not pages of math. My bad...had to send it back although it was a great book in the right hands, the right place and with the right teacher. My nephew, although interested in this field is too young to make sense of this book by himself...or else, I'm too old. Bit of both?

Expensive for how thin it is, but it was cheaper than my college bookstore, and I never would have survived the Soils & Groundwater course without it!
