Terzaghi, Karl, 1883-1963
Soil mechanics in engineering practice / Karl Terzaghi, late Professor of the Practice of Civil Engineering, Harvard University, Ralph B. Peck, Professor of Foundation Engineering, Emeritus, University of Illinois, Gholamreza Mesri, Professor of Civil Engineering, University of Illinois. - Third edition. - xxx, 549 pages : illustrations ; 29 cm
"A Wiley-Interscience publication."
Includes bibliographical references (pages 501-522) and index.
Physical properties of soils -- Index properties of soils -- Soil exploration -- Hydraulic and mechanical properties of soils -- Theoretical soil mechanics -- Hydraulics of soils -- Plastic equilibrium in soils -- Settlement and contact pressure -- Problems of design and construction -- Ground improvement -- Earth pressure and stability of slopes -- Foundations -- Settlement due to extraneous causes -- Dams and dam foundations. pt. I. 1. 2. 3. pt. II. 4. 5. 6. pt. III. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.
This book is one of the best-known and most respected books in geotechnical engineering. In its third edition, it presents both theoretical and practical knowledge of soil mechanics in engineering. It features expanded coverage of vibration problems, mechanics of drainage, passive earth pressure, and consolidation.
