Introductory geotechnical engineering: an environmental perspective
This volume explains the why and how of geotechnical engineering in an environmental context. Students of civil, geotechnical and environmental engineering, and practitioners unfamiliar with the particle-energy-field concept, should find the book's novel approach helps to clarify the complex theory behind geotechnics.
