PREFACE

This book is intended as the text for the introductory course of Soil Mechanics in the Department of Civil Engineering of the Delft University of

Technology. It contains an introduction into the major principles and methods of soil mechanics, such as the analysis of stresses, deformations,

and stability. The most important methods of determining soil parameters, in the laboratory and in situ, are also described. Some basic

principles of applied mechanics that are frequently used are presented in Appendices. The subdivision into chapters is such that one chapter

can be treated in a single lecture, approximately.

Comments of students and other users on the material in earlier versions of this book have been implemented in the present version, and

errors have been corrected. Remaining errors are the author’s responsibility, of course, and all comments will be appreciated.

An important contribution to the production of the printed edition, and to this screen edition, has been the typesetting program
