Soil Mechanics

For over forty years, the NAVFAC DM (Design Manual) 7 Series has been the classic reference on geotechnical engineering. This volume (Soil Mechanics, DM 7. 01) is the first volume. It covers many aspects of soil mechanics, including the identification and classification of soil and rock; field exploration, testing and instrumentation; laboratory testing; distribution of stresses; analysis of settlement and volume expansion; seepage and drainage, and; slope stability and protection. Complete with glossary and a foreword by J. Ledlie Klosky.
