This revised and updated edition of "Advanced Soil Mechanics" presents a step-by-step guide to all aspects of the subject to students, and addresses a wide range of topics in a logical and extensively illustrated approach, including: grain-size distribution; the nature of water in clay; consistency of cohesive soils; weight-volume relationships; soil classification systems; concepts of elasticity; and equations of equilibrium. The book is illustrated with mathematical derivations and clear diagrams, problems and examples are provided throughout and each chapter concludes with a list of references for further in-depth review or research. "Advanced Soil Mechanics" is valuable not only for upper-level undergraduate and graduate level students of civil engineering, engineering mechanics, and soil mechanics, but also as a reference for professionals working in these fields.

   INDICE: 1. Soil aggregate, plasticity, and classification 2. Stresses and strains elastic equilibrium 3. Stresses and displacements in a soil mass 4. Pore water pressure due to undrained loading 5. Permeability and seepage 6. Consolidation 7. Shear strength of soils 8. Settlement of shallow foundations Appendix A.
