About the Title
This new edition of Renato Lancellotta’s textbook provides a solid grounding in the mechanics of soils and structures interacting with soil.
It begins with a detailed description of the nature and composition of soils, emphasising soil mineralogy and the features of natural deposits. It thoroughly covers several neglected topics: principles of continuum mechanics, Critical State Theory, site investigation, and innovative techniques such as seismic methods. It outlines boundary value problems with appropriate mathematical rigour, stationary and transient flow in porous media, and the collapse of soil structures described using the concept of plasticity; and then the performance and serviceability of structures. It presents applied mechanics, testing and experimentation, and methods for observing real structures.
It suits an undergraduate course; and is also geared to graduate students, with coverage of several advanced aspects of soil behaviour. And it serves as a professional reference work, tying principles to practice.
