This core undergraduate textbook for civil engineers is the first to cover the fundamental changes in the ethos of geotechnical design advocated in the now published Eurocode 7. This code will be fully adopted across Europe by 2010 and its implementation will mean a radical shift to limit state design.

Ian Smith makes understanding this new approach to geotechnical design less daunting to the student with clear explanatory text, detailed illustrations and several worked examples, covering a range of topics including slope stability, retaining walls and shallow and deep foundations. Downloadable spreadsheets help to illustrate how the new Eurocode is applied and the book's website also gives the worked solutions to self test questions at the end of each chapter.

Now in its 7th edition, this well established book provides undergraduate degree and HND students of civil engineering with a core text on the theory and treatments of soil mechanics. The fundamental principles of the subject are explained clearly and logically and their use in practical applications is well illustrated. The book also features a wide range of worked examples and problems that aid student-centred learning. The main features of the 7th edition are the new sections describing limit state design and unsaturated soils. These two topics have been included to reflect the recent changes in practice in these two subject areas. New worked examples have been provided to help guide the reader through the new design approaches endorsed through the limit state design methods set out in the new geotechnical codes, and an up-to-date appraisal is given of the problems of unsaturated soil. An introduction, for the first time, to practical geotechnical design using limit state theory, together with new worked examples. An outline of the changes introduced by the draft European Geotechnical Design Code, Eurocode 7. A revised section on unsaturated soils. New material in a number of areas including soil nailing, highway design, and in situ moisture content determination. Extensive number of worked examples. Larger format with improved illustrations.

Now in its 8th edition, this well established textbook has been updated and redesigned with improved page layout and illustrations making it the essential user-friendly introduction to soil mechanics and geotechnical design to Eurocode 7.

APPLIED SOIL MECHANICS WITH ABAQUS APPLICATIONS

ABOUT THE BOOK

Applied Soil Mechanics with Abaqus Applications written by Sam Helwany is published by John Wiley and Sons.

The purpose of this book is to provide civil engineering students and practitioners with simple basic knowledge on how to apply the ?nite element method to soil mechanics problems. This is essentially a soil mechanics book that includes traditional soil mechanics topics and applications. The book differs from traditional soil mechanics books in that it provides a simple and more ?exible alternative using the ?nite element method to solve traditional soil mechanics problems that have closed-form solutions. The book also shows how to apply the ?nite element method to solve more complex geotechnical engineering problems of practical nature that do not have closed-form solutions.

In short, the book is written mainly for undergraduate students, to encourage them to solve geotechnical engineering problems using both traditional engineering solutions and the more versatile ?nite element solutions. This approach not only teaches the concepts but also provides means to gain more insight into geotechnical engineering applications that reinforce the concepts in a very profound manner. The concepts are presented in a basic form so that the book can serve as a valuable learning aid for students with no background in soil mechanics. The main prerequisite would be strength of materials (or equivalent), which is a prerequisite for soil mechanics in most universities.

General soil mechanics principles are presented for each topic, followed by traditional applications of these principles with longhand solutions, which are followed in turn by ?nite element solutions for the same applications, and then both solutions are compared. Further, more complex applications are presented and solved using the ?nite element method.

Over 60 solved examples appear throughout the book. Most are solved longhand to illustrate the concepts and then solved using the ?nite element method embodied in a computer program: ABAQUS. All ?nite element examples are solved using ABAQUS. This computer program is used worldwide by educators and engineers to solve various types of civil engineering and engineering mechanics problems. One of the major advantages of using this program is that it is capable of solving most geotechnical engineering problems.
