Short Course Series


This book explains the process of ground formation – what it is made of and how it behaves as an engineering material. This enables the civil engineer to work from a few first principles to determine if the ground is an asset or a hazard.
This book gives both students and practising civil engineers an authoritative review of the state-of-the-art of designing deep foundations, excavations and tunnels. In addition, the case studies and numerical modelling presented will give valuable insights into the challenges of soil-structure...
A Short Course in Geotechnical Site Investigation will familiarise students with the practicalities of geotechnical engineering and refresh the knowledge of practising engineering geologists and civil engineers.
Part of the "Short Course" series, this book combines both soil and rock slope engineering - in effect, two short courses. It focuses on the essentials, explaining simple methods of stability analysis and applying them to a wide range of practical applications.
Talking about foundation design problems, this book concentrates on getting the fundamentals right, and then using them in practical applications. It is illustrated with numerous worked examples and with quick-reference tables and charts.
