Description

This book has been designed to meet the needs of the Civil Engineering Curricula for the courses in the subject of Geotechnical Engineering.

The topics have been dealt with in a logical sequence and the concepts explained in a lucid manner. Adequate number of well-graded illustrative examples and problems for practice have been included; the answers for the latter are given at the end of the book. Summary of main points and references are given at the end of each chapter.

References have been made to the relevant Indian Standard Codes at appropriate places. A large number of objective questions are given along with the answers at the end. Minor revision/additions have been made in a few chapters with a view to bringing the subject matter up-to-date.

A new chapter on “Flexible Retaining Structures” has been added in this edition.
