Smith’s <b>Elements of Soil Mechanics</b> <p><b>The revised 10^th edition of the core textbook on soil mechanics </B> <p>The revised and updated edition of <i>Smith’s Elements of Soil Mechanics</i> continues to offer a core undergraduate textbook on soil mechanics. The author, a noted expert in geotechnical engineering, reviews all aspects of soil mechanics and provides a detailed explanation of how to use both the current and the next versions of Eurocode 7 for geotechnical design. Comprehensive in scope, the book includes accessible explanations, helpful illustrations, and worked examples and covers a wide range of topics including slope stability, retaining walls and shallow and deep foundations. <p>The text is updated throughout to include additional material and more worked examples that clearly illustrate the processes for performing testing and design to the new European standards. In addition, the book’s accessible format provides the information needed to understand how to use the first and second generations of Eurocode 7 for geotechnical design. The second generation of this key design code has seen a major revision and the author explains the new methodology well, and has provided many worked examples to illustrate the design procedures. The new edition also contains a new chapter on constitutive modeling in geomechanics and updated information on the strength of soils, highway design and laboratory and field testing. This important text: <ul><li>Includes updated content throughout with a new chapter on constitutive modeling</li> <li>Provides explanation on geotechnical design to the new version of Eurocode 7</li> <li>Presents enhanced information on laboratory and field testing and the new approach to pavement foundation design</li> <li>Provides learning outcomes, real-life examples, and self-learning exercises within each chapter</li> <li>Offers a companion website with downloadable video tutorials, animations, spreadsheets and additional teaching materials</li></ul> <p>Written for students of civil engineering and geotechnical engineering, <i>Smith’s Elements of Soil Mechanics, 10^th Edition</i> covers the fundamental changes in the ethos of geotechnical design advocated in the Eurocode 7.

The 9th edition maintains the content on all soil mechanics subject areas – groundwater flow, soil physical properties, stresses, shear strength, consolidation and settlement, slope stability, retaining walls, shallow and deep foundations, highways, site investigation – but has been expanded to include a detailed explanation of how to use Eurocode 7 for geotechnical design. The key change in this new edition is the expansion of the content covering Geotechnical Design to Eurocode 7. Redundant material relating to the now defunct British Standards – no longer referred to in degree teaching – has been removed. Building on the success of the earlier editions, this 9th edition of Smith’s Elements of Soil Mechanics brings additional material on geotechnical design to Eurocode 7 in an understandable format. Many worked examples are included to illustrate the processes for performing design to this European standard. Significant updates throughout the book have been made to reflect other developments in procedures and practices in the construction and site investigation industries. More worked examples and many new figures have been provided throughout. The illustrations have been improved and the new design and layout of the pages give a lift. unique content to illustrate the use of Eurocode 7 with essential guidance on how to use the now fully published code clear content and well-organised structure takes complicated theories and processes and presents them in easy-to-understand formats book's website offers examples and downloads to further understanding of the use of Eurocode 7 www.wiley.com/go/smith/soil
