Fundamentals of Soil Mechanics for Sedimentary and Residual SoilsAuthor(s): Laurence D. Wesley\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc, United States\nImprint: John Wiley & Sons Inc\nISBN-13: 9780470376263, 978-0470376263\nSynopsis\nIntroducing the first integrated coverage of sedimentary and residual soil engineering\n\nDespite its prevalence in under-developed parts of the United States and most tropical and sub-tropical countries, residual soil is often characterized as a mere extension of conventional soil mechanics in many textbooks. Now, with the rapid growth of construction in these regions, it is essential to gain a fuller understanding of residual soils and their properties?one that's based on an integrated approach to the study of residual and sedimentary soils. One text puts this understanding well within reach: Fundamentals of Soil Mechanics for Sedimentary and Residual Soils.\n\nThe first resource to provide equal treatment of both residual and sedime.
