This book presents the fundamental design principles and approaches in geotechnical engineer-
ing, including an introduction to engineering geology, subsurface explorations, shallow and deep
foundations, slope stability analyses and remediation, filters and drains, Earth retaining struc-
tures, geosynthetics, and basic seismic evaluations of slope stability, lateral earth pressures, and
liquefaction. It is intended for use as a textbook in the geotechnical design courses for senior
undergraduate and M.S. graduate students. Therefore, the topics covered in this book are pre-
sented to meet this level. This book applies the principles of soil mechanics and focuses on the
design methodologies in geotechnical engineering. The readers of this book are expected to
have undertaken a soil mechanics course and already understood the principles of engineering
properties of soils, stresses in soils, seepage in soils, soils shear strength, and consolidation.

            

The book was completed after I have taught geotechnical engineering for 9 years as faculty
of civil engineering. Although excellent textbooks on the principles of geotechnical engineering
and textbooks on foundation engineering are available to students, instructors and students have
few options in selecting textbooks that cover geotechnical design aspects other than foundation
engineering, particularly in senior undergraduate and M.S. graduate courses. This prompted me
to embark on writing this textbook. While writing this book, I remained mindful of how a student
can best and most easily grasp the content. Each chapter opens with an introduction on why
the topic is important in the engineering practice, and graphical illustrations are appropriately
included to offer visual images of the engineering applications. Ample graphical illustrations on
field applications and design approaches are provided throughout the book. In Chapters 3–9
where designs are presented, a sample problem and its solution are included at the end of each
topic. The homework problems at the end of each chapter are designed to test the student’s
basic understanding of the concepts and design approaches and to challenge the student to
solve real-world design issues.

A unique aspect of this book is the inclusion of Eurocode 7: Geotechnical design, the Euro-
pean Standard for the design of geotechnical structures. The design approaches of many topics
in this book use both allowable stress design (in the United States) and limit state design (in
Europe), and two sets of solutions for many sample problems are provided to explain both
the design methodologies. Both the America Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards
and the British standards are referred to in Chapter 1 (Introduction to Engineering Geology) and
Chapter 2 (Geotechnical Subsurface Exploration). The inclusion of Eurocode allows the interna-
tional audience to preliminarily understand the commonalities and differences in geotechnical
engineering designs on a global scale, particularly in Europe and North America.
Considering the targeted level of readers and the typical duration of a course in which this
textbook would be used, some topics are not presented in great depth. For example, Chapter 3
(Shallow Foundation Design) and Chapter 4 (Introduction to Deep Foundation Design) present
only the fundamentals of foundation design; the topic of drilled shafts is not presented. Chapter 8
(Introduction to Geosynthetics Design) presents only the basics of geosynthetics and three
common field applications using geosynthetics: mechanically stabilized earth walls, reinforced
soil slopes, and filtration and drainage. Chapter 9 (Introduction to Geotechnical Earthquake
Design) presents the basic seismology and earthquake characteristics and three basic seismic
evaluations: slope stability, lateral earth pressures, and liquefaction. Special topic courses on
these individual topics may require other available textbooks.

I am indebted to many people who helped and supported the long process of writing this
book. Jennifer Welter, Madeleine Metcalfe, and Harriet Konishi of John Wiley and Sons had
been patient, supportive, and instrumental in the development of this book. Benjamin T. Adams,
my undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral student and friend, provided valuable thoughts and
help. Many professors, practitioners, and agencies generously provided photos and graphs for
this book; the acknowledgements of them are included in the figure captions. I particularly
appreciate my wife, Shasha, for her continuous support and sacrifice in the pursuit of this book
and in life.
