Book Description
The text is written for undergraduate students of civil engineering or geotechnical engineering at universities and polytechnics, but will also appeal to practising engineers and postgraduate students, seeking a simple introduction to recent advances in soil mechanics theory, in fields as diverse as rock mechanics, engineering geology, mining engineering, foundation engineering, powder technology, and materials handling.

About the Author
Peter Bransby obtained the degrees of MA and PhD from Cambridge University before working as a Post Doctoral Fellow at the University of British Columbia for eighteen months. Returning to Cambridge to teach, first as a Demonstrator and then as a University Lecturer in Engineering and Fellow and Director of Studies in Engineering at Christ s College, he followed a number of research interests in soil mechanics including the behaviour of retaining walls in sand, for which work he was awarded a British Geotechnical Society prize for 1970. He was appointed Head of the Materials Handling Division of the Department of Industry s Warren Spring Laboratory in 1976 where he is currently responsible for research and consultancy on the storage, Handling and conveying of industrially import bulk particulate materials and difficult fluids.

The approach to the subject is through the theory of critical state soil mechanics, but the treatment in the text is essentially non-mathematical. The theory of critical state soil mechanics provides the framework necessary for a proper understanding of soil behaviour and use the Cambridge and elsewhere for many years has demonstrated its value as a teaching method.
