About the Book: Fundamentals of Ground Engineering
Ground Engineering is an understanding of geological structures, materials and
processes, combined with the systematic application of investigative, scientific
and mathematical techniques to produce practical solutions to ground related
problems for the benefit of society. This book, Fundamentals of Ground
Engineering, summarizes the basic principles and theories of soil mechanics, the
procedures for creating a geotechnical model, and the common analyses for
slopes, foundations, and walls.
