Practices in Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering

This book series elaborates on how to apply advanced theory to practice, from the basic theory to engineering, to improve readers’ understanding of soil behaviors. Presenting approaches for identifying the parameters of advanced constitutive models, it serves as a bridge between the microstructure of soils and global deformation and failure. It also includes clear and simple diagrams to vividly illustrate the theoretical insights presented. Unlike other similar books, this series focuses on geotechnical engineering practices as well as theoretical explanations. Sharing the latest research in the geotechnical field, and promoting the application of scientific findings, it quickly responds to the needs of engineers and research students, and helps them solve practical engineering problems. In addition, the series provides a practical analysis and engineering-design platform, which can be used for both teaching and training purposes.
