Résumé :	This practical guide to advanced geotechnical topics helps readers solve problems in real-world situations. Taking a personal tone and devised with a focus on practical aspects, Geotechnical Problem Solving bridges the gap between geotechnical and mechanics material covered in university civil Engineering courses and the advanced topics for practicing civil, structural and Geotechnical engineers. By giving newly qualified engineers the information needed to apply their extensive theoretical knowledge, and informing more established practitioners of the latest developments, this book helps readers confidently approach problems having thought through the various options available. Where various competing solutions proposed, the author systematically guides readers through each option, weighing problems in a similar manner. -Links theoretical and practical work to provide a reference and guide to geotechnical topics; -Takes readers through various scenarios helping them to understand how to solve problems efficiently; -Provides a perspective on complexity in geotechnical practice; -Gives readers the tools they need to understand the principles and history behind the material so that they can handle real-world problems; -covers a broed range of geotechnical topics, including soils, foundations and retaining structures, and provides an introduction to the background and application of geotechnical LRFD; -Reading recommendation are given including special articles and references for further study of advanced material; -Uses a problem and answer mentoring approach from the author to the reader to answer many of the reader's questions.
