Analysis and Prediction of Soil Behaviour (Hardcover)

Of the civil engineering construction materials, soil is unique in being a natural material which has to be engineered most often, as it exists; unlike other processed or manufactured materials, such as concrete or steel, which can be processed to suit specific requirements. One of the main features of this volume is its treatment of the different soil states whilst most textbooks ignore this aspect. The material covered in this book is a synthesis of the research carried out at the Indian Institute of Science.
