Summary

Exploring a pioneering approach for predicting the nonlinear behavior of laterally loaded long vertical and batter piles, this second edition presents the latest developments in the design of drilled pier foundations and mechanically stabilized earth retaining walls. This book addresses essential issues such as soil formation, properties, and classification; soil permeability, seepage, and the effect of water on stress conditions; stresses due to surface loads; soil compressibility and consolidation; as well as shear strength characteristics of soils. Each chapter includes homework problems along with numerous illustrative examples. The text also provides a complete solutions manual.
