Soil mechanics

by R.F. Craig

This is the sixth edition of the bestselling text which has been widely praised for its clarity, depth of explanation and extensive coverage. As with previous editions, the aim is to present the fundamental principles of soil mechanics and illustrate how they are applied in practical situations. This is reinforced by the inclusion of worked examples throughout the book and a range of problems set for solution by the reader. The book assembles all the essential elements of an undergraduate course, leading from the properties of soils and basic theory through to practical applications such as retaining structures and foundations. Semi-empirical procedures are also covered. Solutions Manual available, 0-419-22460-2.

[Mahrukh · Rating 1 out of 5]

I didn't finish the book as the semester had ended and my reason for reading the book had also finished. The only reason I read this book was to get a flow of my already gained knowledge. If I had a choice I would have gone with any other option other than this.

The reason I gave this book one star is because it is horrible for learning a concept for the first time. Rather than giving practical examples to connect the theory, it spends many many pages explaining formulas and the mathematical reasoning behind the formula.
