  • Handbook of Tropical Residual Soils Engineeringby Bujang B.K. Huat

    CRC Press 2012; US$ 179.95

    Residual soils are found in many parts of the world. Like other soils, they are used extensively in construction, either to build upon, or as construction material. They are formed when the rate of rock weathering is more rapid than transportation of the weathered particles by e.g., water, gravity and wind, which results in a large share of the soils... more...

  • Unsaturated Soils: Research and Applicationsby Claudio Mancuso; Cristina Jommi; Francesca D?Onza

    Springer 2012; US$ 209.99

  • Soil Mechanicsby Roberto Nova

    Wiley 2012; US$ 210.00

    Knowledge of the behavior of soil mechanics is essential for forecasting the internal displacements and actions of any construction. This book, although theoretical at first glance, also offers a more practical scope, giving readers adequate tools to plan geotechnical projects correctly. more...

  • Smith's Elements of Soil Mechanicsby Ian Smith

    Wiley 2013; US$ 44.99

    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... more...
