By giving newly qualified engineers the information needed to apply their extensive theoretical knowledge, and informing more established practitioners of the latest developments, this book enables readers to consider how to confidently approach problems having thought through the various options available. Where various competing solutions are proposed, the author systematically leads through each option, weighing up the benefits and drawbacks of each, to ensure the reader can approach and solve real-world problems in a similar manner The scope of material covered includes a range of geotechnical topics, such as soil classification, soil stresses and strength and soil self-weight settlement. Shallow and deep foundations are analyzed, including special articles on laterally loaded piles, retaining structures including MSE and Tieback walls, slope and trench stability for natural, cut and fill slopes, geotechnical uncertainty, and geotechnical LRFD (Load and Resistance Factor Design)"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aEngineering geology 606 $aSoil mechanics 606 $aSoil-structure interaction 615 0$aEngineering geology. 615 0$aSoil mechanics. 615 0$aSoil-structure interaction. 676 $a624.1/51 700 $aLommler$b John C$0936997 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910139691103321 996 $aGeotechnical problem solving$92110352 997 $aUNINA
