Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Deals with the current application of physical and engineering properties of soils and the theories of soil mechanics to the design and construction of foundations, deep excavations and dams, and to the stability of natural and excavated slopes.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 682-702) and indexes.
Part I: Physical properties of soils -- Index properties of soils -- Hydraulic and mechanical properties of soils -- Drainage of soils -- Part II: Theoretical soil mechanics -- Hydraulics of soils -- Plastic equilibrium in soils -- Settlement and contact pressure -- Part III: Problems of design and construction -- Soil exploration -- Earth pressure and stability of slopes -- Foundations -- Settlement due to exceptional causes -- Dams and dam foundations -- Performance observations.
