Essentials of Soil Mechanics and Foundations: Basic Geotechnics 7th Edition PDF Download Ebook. David F. McCarthy provides a clear, detailed presentation of soil mechanics: the background and basics, the engineering properties and behavior of soil deposits, and the application of soil mechanics theories.
This book features a separate chapter on earthquakes, a more logical organization, and new material relating to pile foundations design and construction and soil permeability. It's rich applications, well illustrated examples, end-of-chapter problems and detailed explanations make it an excellent reference for practicing engineers, architects, geologists, environmental specialists, and more!
Written by an experienced professor/practitioner, this introductory book provides an unusual range of coverage from basic concepts to developments that provide the user with a real-life working knowledge of geotechnics. Coverage includes design charts, tables, equations utilized by practioners -- not just the nuts and bolts, but explicit instructions and applications as well.
It covers new developments in geotechnical topics such as: Soil Properties and Analyses Pile Foundation Design and Testing Micropiles Soil Nail Walls Launched Soil Nails Soil Improvment Includes a more extensive scope of topics and clear, well developed presentations. Emphasizes how subject material can be used in the field. It is excellent reference for practicing engineers, architects, geologists, environmental specialists and construction materials testing laboratories.
The SI system remains the precedent system for units in the text, but with data and illustrations also presented in U.S. customary units. The illustrated problems within chapters, which show applications of theory, are realistic although often simplified. The end-of-chapter problems that help to evaluate comprehension (for the benefit of classroom instruction and student practice) include some changes and additions to the material in the previous edition.
This text is a comprehensive presentation of topics in the field of soil mechanics and foundations, and includes more material than can be covered within the time allocated to the typical three- or four-credit college course. Accordingly, it is expected that chapter topics selected for use by classroom instructors at different campuses will vary, guided by the requirement or intent of the institution program. But typically, after students have learned basic material, other text topics (particularly those relating to applications) can be self-taught to obtain working knowledge as may be required for subsequent courses.
