Analytic models and field data are used to develop procedures to evaluate the tolerance of
brick-bearing-wall and small frame structures to the ground displacements that develop …

Piling is a fast-moving field and recent years have seen major advances in theory, methods,
testing procedures and equipment. Some of these changes have been driven by the need …

This seventh edition of Soil Mechanics, widely praised for its clarity, depth of explanation
and extensive coverage, presents the fundamental principles of soil mechanics and …

To address increasing water demands in expanding cities, many aquifers in Mexico are
overexploited and deplete. The resulting land subsidence often combines with ground …

Ideal for undergraduates of geotechnical engineering for civil engineers, this established
textbook sets out the basic theories of soil mechanics in a clear and straightforward way; …

Every engineering structure, whether it's a building, bridge or road, is affected by the ground
on which it is built. Geology is of fundamental importance when deciding on the location and …
