Specifications
The book Soil Mechanics by Craig continues to evolve and remains the most authoritative handbook for students in civil engineering schools worldwide. It covers the fundamental principles of soil mechanics and applied geotechnical engineering from A to Z, at a suitable depth for undergraduate students, but also includes sufficient additional material to be used in graduate programs. Moreover, it contains numerous practical examples and digital tools that make it a useful reference book for professional engineers.
The features of the new edition are as follows:
- Reorganization of the structure of the chapters dealing with foundations and earthworks.
- The second chapter has been updated to include new material regarding working platforms and the collapse of underground cavities (sinkhole formation).
- Presentation of new methods of mobilized stress deformation, which can be directly used in both linear and non-linear models of soil stiffness, as well as in measurements of shear wave velocities in the field, for the design of limit state functionality.
- Use of large sets of correlations to perform reliable initial estimates of soil parameters, covering more cases than the eighth edition.
- Addition of a large section dealing with effective statistical selection of soil parameter characteristics.
- Greater application of solidification theory to determine whether actions, processes, and field/laboratory tests are related to drained or undrained conditions.
- Addition of a chapter on field tests, including the DMT test, and the interpretation of solidification parameters as determined by CPTU and DMT tests.
- Addition of an updated section on pile loading tests.
- Additional examples and problems at the end of each chapter, covering new material, with complete solutions for instructors.
