       A suite of editable spreadsheets which map onto the worked examples in the book, showing how they are solved.

       Solutions to the end‐of‐chapter exercises, including the full workings and accompanying spreadsheets.

       Convenient tables with useful data and formulae.

       Animations to demonstrate some of the more complex laboratory testing and geotechnical procedures.

Part I Fundamentals of Soil Mechanics

Chapter 1 Classification and Physical Properties of Soils

      Learning objectives:

      By the end of this chapter, you will have been introduced to:

       the formation of rocks and soils;

       clay soils and the field identification of soils;

       the classification of soils;

       various physical properties of soils and the relationships between them.

      In the field of civil engineering, nearly all projects are built on to, or into, the ground. Whether the project is a structure, a roadway, a tunnel, or a bridge, the nature of the soil at that location is of great importance to the civil engineer. Geotechnical engineering is the term given to the branch of engineering that is concerned
