      abstract = {"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)"--},
