Preface
This book was written for first-year courses in soil mechanics and foundations. It has three main purposes. The first is to present the basic principles and fundamentals of soil mechanics in a simple pedagogy, taking advantage of students’ backgrounds in mechanics, physics and mathematics. The second is the integration of existing learning principles, teaching techniques, and learning tools to help students understand various topics in soil mechanics and foundations.
Third is to provide solid knowledge to introduce students to lifelong technology challenges.
Some of the key features of this book are:
• Topics are presented in a clear and systematic way, explaining basic concepts and principles without compromising technical accuracy.
• Numerous example problems are solved to illustrate basic concepts and applications of basic principles or to provide additional information.
• The answer to each example is preceded by a strategy; The purpose of this is to teach students to think about the solution to the problem before solving it. Each answer provides a step-by-step guide to guide the student through problem solving.
• The “To Do” list at the beginning of each chapter informs readers about what they need to learn after studying each chapter and helps students take responsibility for learning the material.
• Web-based content including interactive animations, interactive problem solving, step-by-step examples, virtual soil labs, e-quizzes and more are included in this book.
As computers, computer applications, and software become more widespread and accessible, students are likely to use these tools in their applications. For this reason, computer functions and general equations are presented instead of tables for students to enter into calculators.
The content of the book is well adapted to the third book:
• Chapter Updates – Many chapters in the second book are now divided into several sections for ease of use.
• Content improvements – The content of each chapter has been enhanced with the addition of updated resources and additional information. In particular, physical proofs are developed not only to help explain soil behavior, but are also used as the basis for practical problems.
• Examples and Questions – Added many examples and more questions featuring “real life” facts. The examples are given descriptive titles to make them easier to find.
