- - By studying with this textbook, students will acquire a contemporary understanding of the physical and mechanical properties of soil. They will be engaged in the presentation of these properties, in discussions and guidance on the fundamentals of soil mechanics. They will attain the problem-solving skills and background knowledge that will prepare them to think critically, make good decisions, and engage in life-long learning. It is structured to provide the user with a learning outcome that is a solid foundation on key soil mechanics principles for application in a later foundation engineering course and in engineering practice. The author wrote this textbook to present accessible, clear, concise, and contemporary course content for a first course in soil mechanics to meet the needs of undergraduates, not only in civil engineering but also in construction, mining, geological engineering, and related disciplines.
