From the Author:

When learning geotechnical engineering theory must be supplemented by many solved problems. This book is intended to teach problem solving skills in Geomechanics and affirm what the student of soil mechanics has learned. It is intended for self study by individuals with only engineering mechanics(statics) background. All the geotechnical parameters used in this book are real world like values.
