<br/><br/>Includes bibliographical references and index. 
<br/><br/> This book presents the fundamental design principles and approaches in geotechnical engineering, including an introduction to engineering geology, subsurface, explorations, shallow and deep foundations, slope stability analyses and remediation, filters and drains, Earth-retaining structures, geosynthetics, and basic seismic evaluations of slope stability, lateral earth pressures, and liquefaction. This book applies the principles of soil mechanics and focuses on the design methodologies in geotechnical engineering. The readers of this book are expected to have undertaken a soil mechanics course and already understood the principles of engineering properties of soils, stresses in soil seepage in soils, soils shear strength and consolidation.
