Geotechnical Design Manual
Washington State Department of Transportation
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.

Geotechnical Engineering: Advances in Soil Mechanics and Foundation EngineeringA 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.
Verified PDF · Secure download - Subsurface Investigations: Geotechnical Site Characterization
How to plan and run a site investigation: drilling and sampling methods, in situ testing with SPT, CPT, vane and dilatometer, geophysical surveys, and how to turn the results into a subsurface profile you can design from.
Verified PDF · Secure download - Basic Geotechnical Engineering
Written for engineers who are not geotechnical specialists but still have to read a soils report. Walks through site explorations, soil properties, bearing capacity and settlement of footings, lateral earth pressure, retaining walls, deep foundations and compacted fill, in plain language.
Verified PDF · Secure download - Lecture Notes on Geotechnical Engineering
Course notes built around a standard syllabus: soil origin and classification, permeability and seepage, compaction and consolidation, and shear strength. Follows the module structure most engineering programs use, with derivations kept short and worked problems at the end of each topic.
Verified PDF · Secure download - The Application of Machine Learning in Geotechnical Engineering
Twenty studies applying neural networks, support vector machines and ensemble models to geotechnical problems: predicting undrained shear strength, tunnel convergence, slope failure and pile capacity. For readers who already have the fundamentals and want to see where data driven methods fit.
