Description: Soil Mechanics Fundamentals and Applications by Isao Ishibashi, Hemanta Hazarika Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description How Does Soil Behave and Why Does It Behave That Way?Soil Mechanics Fundamentals and Applications, Second Edition effectively explores the nature of soil, explains the principles of soil mechanics, and examines soil as an engineering material. This latest edition includes all the fundamental concepts of soil mechanics, as well as an introduction to foundation engineering, including coverage of site exploration, shallow and deep foundation design, and slope stability. It presents the material in a systematic, step-by-step manner, and contains numerous problems, examples, and solutions.New to the Second Edition:The revised text expands the contents to include an introductory foundation engineering section to make the book cover the full range of geotechnical engineering. The book includes three new chapters: Site Exploration, Deep Foundations, and Slope Stability.This text: Provides an introductory chapter on soil mechanicsExplores the origin and description of soils and discusses soil shapes and gradationsPresents the unique characteristics of claysDetails soil classifications by the Unified Soil Classification System (also ASTM) and by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO)Highlights laboratory and field compaction techniques, including field specification and density testing,, and the CBR (California Bearing Ratio) methodDiscusses the flow of water through soils, defining hydraulic heads, as well as the two-dimensional flow net technique and a systematic approach to compute boundary water pressuresExamines the concept of effective stress and its applications to various soil mechanics problemsExplores stress increments in a soil mass due to various types of footing load on the groundPresents Terzaghis one-dimensional consolidation theory and its applicationsCovers Mohrs circle from geotechnical perspectives with use of the pole, which is utilized in chapters relating to shear strength and lateral earth pressureAddresses the shear strength of soils, failure criteria, and laboratory as well as field shear strength determination techniquesEvaluates at-rest earth pressure and the classic Rankine and Coulomb active and passive pressure theories and present critical review of those methodsReviews introductory foundation engineering and site explorationDescribes the bearing capacity theory and, as an application, the shallow foundation design procedureCovers deep and shallow foundation design proceduresExplains slope stability problems and remediation procedures, and more Soil Mechanics Fundamentals and Applications, Second Edition is a concise and thorough text that explains soils fundamental behavior and its applications to foundation designs and slope stability problems and incorporates basic engineering science knowledge with engineering practices and practical applications. Author Biography Dr. Isao Ishibashi, P.E., is a professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia. He obtained bachelors and masters degrees from Nagoya University, Japan. After earning his PhD from the University of Washington, Seattle, he taught and was on the research faculty at the University of Washington and Cornell University before moving to Old Dominion University in 1986. His research includes soil liquefaction, dynamic soil properties, static and dynamic earth pressures, seismic water pressure, granular mechanics, slope stability, and used-tire application to embankment. He has authored or co-authored more than 100 published technical papers. Dr. Hemanta Hazarika is a professor in the Department of Civil Engineering, Kyushu University, Fukuoka, Japan. He obtained his bachelor of technology degree in civil engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Madras, India, and his PhD in geotechnical engineering from Nagoya University, Japan. He also worked as a practicing engineer in industry as well as a researcher in the public sector research institute of Japan. Professor Hazarika has more than 130 technical publications in reputed international journals, proceedings of international conferences, and symposia, including contributed chapters in several books. He is also the editor of two books in his research fields.
