Verified PDF · Secure download - Soils and Foundations Reference Manual Volume I
The course manual behind one of the most widely taught geotechnical programs, running from subsurface exploration and soil classification through laboratory testing, slope stability and earth retaining structures. Over a thousand pages, with a worked design example at nearly every step.
Verified PDF · Secure download - Geotechnical Design Manual
A complete design reference organized the way a project actually runs, from site characterization and soil properties through foundations, walls, embankments, unstable slopes and seismic design. Each chapter states the design criteria and the checks that go with them.
Verified PDF · Secure download - Geotechnical Engineering: Advances in Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering
A collection of research chapters on soil mechanics and foundation engineering, covering subgrade behavior under railway loading, offshore pipeline scour, the seismic response of saturated soils and the geotechnical assessment of historic structures. Useful when you want current research rather than textbook fundamentals.
