N1  - Includes bibliographical references and index; "Introduction to Geotechnical Engineering takes intensive research and observation in the field and the laboratory which have refined and improved the science of foundation design and presents them in a simple and concise form. This non-calculus based text is primarily designed for classroom instruction in civil engineering technology programs where soil mechanics and foundation engineering are combined into one course. It is also a useful and convenient reference tool for civil engineering practitioners as minimal supplementary material is necessary for its use." -- Publisher's description.; Introduction -- Weight-volume relationships -- Grain size analysis, plasticity, and soil classification -- Permeability and capillarity -- Stresses in a soil mass -- Consolidation -- Shear strength of soils -- Subsurface exploration -- Lateral earth pressure: At-rest, Rankine and Coulomb -- Shallow foundations bearing capacity and settlement -- Deep foundations -- Retaining walls -- Slope stability -- Soil compaction
