\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthoritative and generously illustrated resource covering the many properties of soil and its behavior needed for addressing geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering projects and problems.\u003c/b\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Fourth Edition of \u003ci\u003eFundamentals of Soil Behavior\u003c/i\u003e has been thoroughly updated to provide the latest information on the physical properties of soil and the fundamentals of its behavior, with hundreds of tables and graphs illustrating correlations among composition, classification, state, and static and dynamic properties. Overall, each topic is addressed in a micro-to-macro sequence, considering behaviors at the atomic and/or particle scales to develop understanding of soil properties and behaviors at the macro-scale, which is relevant to engineering practice. \u003cp\u003eThis Fourth Edition includes two new chapters on special features of soil behavior and temperature-dependent soil behavior. Other chapters have been substantially updated to include the latest developments in imaging technology, and analysis numerical simulations that have advanced research on the complexities of soil behavior, and recent experimental data. The content has been reviewed, consolidated, and reorganized to more effectively comunicate key information. The text features end-of-chapter questions and problems to aid in seamless reader comprehension and information retention. \u003cp\u003eUpdated by true thought leaders in the field, the Fourth Edition of \u003ci\u003eFundamentals of Soil Behavior\u003c/i\u003e includes detailed information on: \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSoil formation, covering the earth\u0026#8217;s crust, the geologic cycle, rock and mineral stability, weathering, and origin of clay minerals and genesis.\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSoil mineralogy, covering atomic structure, interatomic bonding, secondary bonds, crystal notation, and clay mineral characteristics.\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFundamental engineering characterization of soil, covering granular soils and clay minerals.\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eObserving and quantifying soil fabric, covering qualitative and quantitative assessment of soil fabric.\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTransport of heat, fluid, and electrical current.\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe fundamentals of volume change, deformation, and strength properties of soils.\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe impact of time and temperature changes on soil behavior.\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eProviding an understanding of soil behavior, a fundamental requisite to a wide variety of engineering applications including foundation design and construction, earthwork construction, and geotechnical engineering, \u003ci\u003eFundamentals of Soil Behavior\u003c/i\u003e is an essential learning resource for geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineers, geologists, geophysicists, and students studying geotechnical engineering and granular materials. |
