Soil Engineering: Testing, Design, and Remediation, by Dr. Fu Hua Chen, P.E Edited by M.D. Morris, P.E


In the last 40 years, no fewer than 50 books have been written on the subject of soil mechanics. Most of them were written for use in teaching. Only a few touched on practical applications. When engineers dealt with major complicated projects, such as the failure of the Teton Dam or the Leaning Tower of Pisa, high technology was required. However, 90% of the cases in which consulting engineers are involved do not require mathematical treatment or computer analysis; they mostly need
experience. Consulting soil engineers are involved primarily with the design of
foundation for warehouses, schools, medium-rise buildings, and residential houses. With such projects, the complete answers to soil engineering problems cannot be resolved solely with textbook information.
The purpose of this book is to provide consulting engineers with the practical
meaning of the various aspects of soil mechanics; the use of unconfined compression
test data; the meaning of consolidation tests; the practical value of lateral pressure;
and other topics.
