Geotechnical engineering : unsaturated and saturated soils Jean-Louis Briaud - Hoboken, New Jersey : John Wiley & Sons, c2013. - xxi, 998 p. : ill. ; 29 cm.

"Published simultaneously in Canada"--Title page verso.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Written by a leader on the subject, Introduction to Geotechnical Engineering is first introductory geotechnical engineering textbook to cover both saturated and unsaturated soil mechanics. Destined to become the next leading text in the field, this book presents a new approach to teaching the subject, based on fundamentals of unsaturated soils, and extending the description of applications of soil mechanics to a wide variety of topics. This groundbreaking work features a number of topics typically left out of undergraduate geotechnical courses.
