Abstract: Written by a leader on the subject, Introduction to Geotechnical Engineering is first introductory geotechnical engineering textbook to cover both saturated and unsaturated soil mechanics. Destined to become the next leading text in the field, this book presents a new approach to teaching the subject, based on fundamentals of unsaturated soils, and extending the description of applications of soil mechanics to a wide variety of topics. This groundbreaking work features a number of topics typically left out of undergraduate geotechnical courses.

Shear strength properties and stress–strain behavior of waste foundry sand
TL;DR: In this article, the engineering properties of waste foundry sand (WFS) as a sustainable construction material were evaluated using extensive laboratory experiments, including X-ray fluorescence (XRF), pH value, particle size distribution, California bearing ratio (CBR) and consolidated drained (CD) direct shear and CD triaxial tests were conducted.

Discrete numerical model for granular assemblies.
Peter Cundall,Otto D. L. Strack +1 more
TL;DR: The distinct element method as mentioned in this paper is a numerical model capable of describing the mechanical behavior of assemblies of discs and spheres and is based on the use of an explicit numerical scheme in which the interaction of the particles is monitored contact by contact and the motion of the objects modelled particle by particle.

Frequency of earthquakes in California
TL;DR: In this article, a statistical comparison of earthquake frequency in California with that of the world as a whole was made by comparing the historical record of the earthquake frequency of California with the global average.
