  • the Book
  • the Author(s)
  • Table of Contents
Geotechnical Engineering combines in a single book, the theoretical aspects (Soil Mechanics) as well as the applications (Foundation Engineering). The author, with his long experience of undergraduate teaching, felt the need for a comprehensive textbook on Geotechnical Engineering that would efficiently cater to all the basic requirements of undergraduate students and proceeded to fill the gap. The lucid explanations in the book are strengthened by: 
• extensive use of figures and graphs, 
• citing of examples, even from fields outside Geotechnical Engineering, 
• for better understanding of the basic ideas and principles, 
• solved numerical problems carefully designed to strengthen understanding, 
•  inclusion of emerging areas of Geotechnical Engineering such as geosynthesis,                
  geotechnical earthquake engineering and environmental geotechniques. For additional material, please visit http://www.universitiespress.com/debashismoitra/gte
