For undergraduate-level courses in Introductory Geotechnical Engineering. This introduction to geotechnical engineering explores both the principles of soil mechanics and their application to engineering practice -- and offers a more rigorous -- yet still accessible and easy-to-read -- approach, more technical depth, and more emphasis on understanding the physical basis for soil behavior.
