This uniquely exhaustive 2-volume compilation of problems encountered in the daily practice of soil mechanics and foundation engineering is a must for students and geotechnical engineers alike. It contains detailed solutions to more than 150 typical problems, clearly illustrated with numerous diagrams and drawings, and graded according to difficulty. All problems are real-life examples taken from the authors' own experience and covering the whole range of soil mechanics and foundation engineering sub-fields. For practising geotechnical and civil engineers, it is an invaluable guide and reference, while specialists in soil mechanics will find answers to problems which are rarely to be found in the technical literature.
