Contents Notes |
Soil formation -- Soil mineralogy -- Soil composition and engineering properties -- Soil fabric and its measurement -- Soil-water-chemical interactions -- Effective, intergranular, and total stress -- Soil deposits : their formation, structure, geotechnical properties, and stability -- Conduction phenomena -- Volume change behavior -- Strength and deformation behavior -- Time effects on strength and deformation. "Fundamentals of Soil Behavior, Third Edition is the thoroughly updated, expanded, and revised edition of this publication in geotechnical engineering. Filled with useful tables and graphs illustrating correlations among composition, classification, state, and static and dynamic properties, this Third Edition continues the tradition of providing the latest information on the physical properties of soil and the fundamentals of its behavior over time."--Jacket. |
