Soil Mechanics for Unsaturated Soils\n\nDG Fredlund (Author), Hendry Rahardjo (Author)\n\n9780471850083\n\nHardback, published 5 August 1993\n\n544 pages\n28.6 x 22.4 x 3.7 cm, 1.366 kg\n\n\""I expect that \""Unsaturated Soil Mechanics inEngineering Practice\"" will remain an essential reference foreducators, researchers and practitioners for a long time tocome.\"" (Geotechnical News, 1 December 2012)\n\nThe principles and concepts for unsaturated soils are developed as extensions of saturated soils. Addresses problems where soils have a matric suction or where pore-water pressure is negative. Covers theory, measurement and use of the fundamental properties of unsaturated soils--permeability, shear strength and volume change. Includes a significant amount of case studies.\n\nChapter 1 Introduction to Unsaturated Soil Mechanics 1 \nChapter 2 Phase Properties and Relations 20\n\n Chapter 3 Stress State Variables 38\n\nChapter 4 Measurements of Soil Suction 64\n \n Chapter 5 Flow Laws]
