This book covers problems and their solution of a wide range of geotechnical topics. Every chapter starts with a summary of key concepts and theory, followed by worked-out examples, and ends with a short list of key references. It presents a unique collection of step by step solutions from basic to more complex problems in various topics of geotechnical engineering, including fundamental topics such as effective stress, permeability, elastic deformation, shear strength and critical state together with more applied topics such retaining structures and dams, excavation and tunnels, pavement infrastructure, unsaturated soil mechanics, marine works, ground monitoring. This book aims to provide students (undergraduates and postgraduates) and practitioners alike a reference guide on how to solve typical geotechnical problems. Features: Guide for solving typical geotechnical problems complementing geotechnical textbooks. Reference guide for practitioners to assist in determining solutions to complex geotechnical problems via simple methods.

Devised with a focus on problem solving, Geotechnical Problem Solving bridges the gap between geotechnical and soil mechanics material covered in university Civil Engineering courses and the advanced topics required for practicing Civil, Structural and Geotechnical engineers. By giving newly qualified engineers the information needed to apply their extensive theoretical knowledge, and informing more established practitioners of the latest developments, this book enables readers to consider how to confidently approach problems having thought through the various options available. Where various competing solutions are proposed, the author systematically leads through each option, weighing up the benefits and drawbacks of each, to ensure the reader can approach and solve real-world problems in a similar manner The scope of material covered includes a range of geotechnical topics, such as soil classification, soil stresses and strength and soil self-weight settlement. Shallow and deep foundations are analyzed, including special articles on laterally loaded piles, retaining structures including MSE and Tieback walls, slope and trench stability for natural, cut and fill slopes, geotechnical uncertainty, and geotechnical LRFD (Load and Resistance Factor Design).

Targeted Training for Solving Civil PE Exam Geotechnical Depth Multiple-Choice Problems Six-Minute Solutions for Civil PE Exam Geotechnical Depth Problems contains 102 multiple-choice problems that are grouped into ten chapters. Each chapter corresponds to a topic on the NCEES PE Civil exam geotechnical depth section. Like the PE exam, an average of six minutes is required to solve each problem in this book. Each problem also includes a hint that provides optional problem-solving guidance. Topics Covered Deep Foundations Earth Retaining Structures Earth Structures Earthquake Engineering and Dynamic Loads Field Materials Testing, Methods, and Safety Groundwater and Seepage Problematic Soil and Rock Conditions Shallow Foundations Site Characterization Soil Mechanics, Lab Testing, and Analysis Referenced Design Standards Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE 7) Safety and Health Regulations for Construction (OSHA 29 CFR Part 1926) Key Features Problems are representative of the exam’s format, scope of topics, and level of difficulty. Connect relevant theory to exam-like problems. Comprehensive step-by-step solutions for all problems demonstrate accurate and efficient solving approaches. Organize the codes and references you will use on exam day. Binding: Paperback Publisher: PPI, A Kaplan Company
