Fundamentals of Continuum Mechanics of Soils

By Yehuda Klausner

This book presents a study of the continuum mechanics of soils and is aimed at scientists, researchers and students in geotechnical engineering, soil physics and material sciences. It provides the theoretical foundation for flow and diffusion, volumetric and shear phenomena, and failure in soils. The theory of mixtures and the basic concepts of mechanics and thermodynamics are also discussed.
