Description

Book Synopsis
Concisely examines the use of elasticity in solving geotechnical engineering problems. In a highly illustrated and user-friendly format, the book provides a thorough grounding in the linear theory of elasticity and an understanding of the applications, for upper level students in civil engineering and engineering geology.

Trade Review
"...this reviewer liked Elasticity and Geomechanics. The writing style is informal and reads easily....If an instructor is looking for a book on basic elasticity with a geomaterial focus, this reviewer would encourage that instructor to look at this work; he or she might be pleasantly surprised." E.B. Pitman, Applied Mechanics Reviews
"...a valuable guide....Overall, a pleasantly readable book. Highly recommended...." Choice

Table of Contents
