This textbook is written for an undergraduate course in soil mechanics and foundations. It has three primary objectives. The first is to present basic concepts and fundamental principles of soil me…
Soils can rarely be described as ideally elastic or perfectly plastic and yet simple elastic and plastic models form the basis for most traditional geotechnical engineering calculations. With the a…
