Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

Geological surface processes (geomorphology); Soil & rock mechanics

Mohr Circles are a powerful and widely used technique for representing stresses and strains in soil and rock, and for converting test data into design parameters, but they have many other uses in solving geotechnical problems. Mohr Circles, Stress Paths and Geotechnics gives a unified presentation of the theory and application of the techniques,

and is the only book to examine the behaviour of both soil and rock in a fundamental and comprehensive manner. The second edition of this well established book has been comprehensively updated in line with recent developments. After presenting the fundamentals of stress and strain, and their graphical representation, the book includes chapters on failure states in soils and rocks, observed and elastic paths, and the

use of discontinuities. New sections include shear bands and small strain behaviour, as well as the use of elastic shear modular stress calculations and discontinuities in plasticity calculations. Expanded coverage is also given to dilitancy of soils and roughness of rock joints. Mohr Circles, Stress Paths and Geotechnics will be invaluable for geotechnical

engineers in teaching, research and practice.

Reviews for Mohr Circles, Stress Paths and Geotechnics

'A comprehensive range of worked examples is included...The book provides a clear description of the relevant techniques and the strengths and limitations of these techniques...written in a lively style, accompanied by a large number of illustrations...will be of considerable assistance to geotechnical engineers in teaching, research, and practice. It will remain a valuable reference for some time to come.' - Applied Mechanics Reviews ' The first book devoted to this subject, this gives a unified presentation of the theory and application of the techniques.' - The Structural Engineer
