Introduction to Geotechnical Engineering

I believe the book does a very nice job presenting at a level our students can understand. The re-arrangement of material of this edition compared to the earliest editions has developed concepts for the students at an appropriate pace.

Introduction to Geotechnical Engineering takes intensive research and observation in the field and the laboratory which have refined and improved the science of foundation design and presents them in a simple and concise form. This non-calculus based text is primarily designed for classroom instruction in civil engineering technology programs where soil mechanics and foundation engineering are combined into one course. It is also a useful and convenient reference tool for civil engineering practitioners as minimal supplementary material is necessary for its use.
