Applied Geotechnics: Fundamentals, Methods and Design of Infrastructures

By José Álvarez and Cristofer Munguía

Soil Studies: Geotechnical Fundamentals and Applications is a work that presents, in a clear and structured way, the essential principles of soil mechanics and its application in civil engineering. Throughout the text, the physical and mechanical properties of the soil, exploration methods and laboratory tests, as well as the main geotechnical phenomena affecting the stability of construction sites are explained.The book also addresses modern ground improvement techniques, geophysical methods, environmental geotechnics, instrumentation and monitoring. In addition, it introduces advanced concepts of geotechnical design, special cementations, soil dynamics and soil behavior in tunnels and deep excavations.With a practical approach and supported by international standards, the book is an essential guide for students and professionals who need to understand and apply the principles of geotechnical engineering in real projects.
