Practical Problems in Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering, 1: Physical Characteristics of Soils, Plasticity, Settlement Calculations, Interpretation of In-Situ Tests presents the analysis and calculation procedures for the solution of geotechnical problems. The book contains example problems with detailed step-by-step solutions. The text emphasizes the application of theoretical soil mechanics to geotechnical engineering. Chapters provide example problems and solutions on the physical characteristics of soil, water in the soil, settlement calculations, plasticity and shear strength, plastic equilibrium, and interpretation of in-situ tests. Civil engineers and civil engineering students will find the book highly useful.

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.
