"Core Concepts of Geotechnical Engineering is a practical introduction for students to the analysis, design, construction, maintenance, and renovation of geotechnical structures. It presents the key principles of engineering geotechnical structures beginning with shallow and deep foundations and retaining structures through to slopes, embankments, earth dams and machine foundations. The book guides students through the analysis of soils and rocks, site investigation and ground improvement techniques as well as exploring the geotechnical structures with reinforcement and confinement"--Back cover.
