The Mechanics of Soils and Foundations

By J.H. Atkinson

An update of the hugely useful first edition, this textbook sets out the basic theories of soil mechanics in a clear and straightforward way; combining both classical and critical state theories, and suited to students and also practising geotechnical engineers.

Discrete topics are presented in a short, focused chapters with clear and accessible text, with relatively simple equations and a number of worked examples and simple experimental demonstrations.
