APPLIED SOIL MECHANICS WITH ABAQUS APPLICATIONS BOOK BY   SAM HELWANY – PDF FREE DOWNLOAD ABOUT THE BOOK Applied Soil Mechanics with Abaqus Applications written by Sam Helwany is published by John Wiley and Sons.              The purpose of this book is to provide civil engineering students and practitioners with simple basic knowledge on how to apply the finite element method to soil mechanics problems. This is essentially a soil mechanics book that includes traditional soil mechanics topics and applications. The book differs from traditional soil mechanics books in that it provides a simple and more flexible alternative using the finite element method to solve traditional soil mechanics problems that have closed-form solutions. The book also shows how to apply the finite element method to solve more complex geotechnical engineering problems of practical nature that do not have closed-form solutions.               In short, the book is written mainly for undergraduate students, to enc

SOIL MECHANICS FUNDAMENTALS BOOK BY MUNI BUDHU WILEY BLACKWELL PUBLICATIONS – PDF FREE DOWNLOAD ABOUT THE BOOK Soil Mechanics Fundamentals written by Muni Budhu, Professor, Department of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics  University of Arizona, USA., is published by John Wiley And Sons.             Author's intent in writing this textbook is to present accessible, clear, concise, and contemporary course content for a first course in soil mechanics to meet the needs of undergraduates not only in civil engineering but also in construction, mining, geological engineering, and related disciplines.             By studying with this textbook, students will acquire a contemporary understanding of the physical and mechanical properties of soils.
