Wiley has long held a pre-eminent position as a publisher of books on geotechnical engineering, with a particular strength in soil behavior and soil mechanics, at both the academic and professional level. This book will be the first textbook to attempt to provide equal treatment to both sedimentary and residual soils, and the unique engineering properties of both. Given the predominenceof residual soils in the under-developed parts of the United States and the Southern Hemisphere, and the increasing rate of new construction in these regions, the understanding of residual soils is expected to increase in importance in the coming years. This book will present the fundamentals of soil mechanicsfrom a geotechnical engineering perspective, pointing to the simularities between soil types and, more importantly, the differences. The author will draw on his 30 years of practical experience as a practicing geotechnical engineer, imbuing the work with real world examples and practice problems influenced by his work in South America and Southeast Asia.
