Soil Mechanics

Bol

Soil Mechanics provides students with a clear understanding of the nature of soil and its behaviour, offering an insight into the application of principles to engineering solutions. This new updated edition includes new case studies, integrated video interviews with practising engineers and a new Testbank for lecturers. Now in its fourth edition, this popular textbook provides students with a clear understanding of the nature of soil and its behaviour, offering an insight into the application of principles to engineering solutions. It clearly relates theory to practice using a wide-range of case studies, and dozens of worked examples to show students how to tackle specific problems. A comprehensive companion website offers worked solutions to the exercises in the book, video interviews with practising engineers and a lecturer testbank.With its comprehensive coverage and accessible writing style, this book is ideal for students of all levels on courses in geotechnical engineering, civil engineering, highway engineering, environmental engineering and environmental management, and is also a handy guide for practitioners.New to this Edition:- Brand-new case studies from around the world, demonstrating real-life situations and solutions- Over 100 worked examples, giving an insight into how engineers tackle specific problems- A companion website providing an integrated series of video interviews with practising engineers- An extensive online testbank of questions for lecturers to use alongside the bookAccompanying online resources for this title can be found at bloomsburyonlineresources.com/soil-mechanics. These resources are designed to support teaching and learning when using this textbook and are available at no extra cost.

Now Eurocode compliant - in line with the compulsory new design codes brought in across the EU and increasingly adopted worldwide. In Soil Mechanics, Barnes clearly sets out the principles of soil behaviour and shows how engineers have applied these solutions in practice, making this an accessible, highly readable and yet comprehensive textbook for core courses in civil and ground engineering, and a handy resource book for practitioners. This fully revised third edition: is now Eurocode compliant, with a new chapter on the geotechnical Eurocodes features worked examples incorporating the Eurocode limit state design principles, allowing readers to use the new codes confidently includes a range of case studies that demonstrate key problems and how engineers have tackled them uses clear diagrams throughout to illustrate key aspects of soil mechanics and photographs to enhance understanding The solutions manual can be found at www.Palgrave.com/engineering/barnes/solutions
