Problems in soil mechanics and foundation engineering / Verma, B.P

Includes index.

Preface
A number of good books are available on Theoretical Soil Mechanics but the author felt that the students are in need of a book which can help them in solving practical problems in Soil Mechanics. While on one hand students find difficulty in solving the problems, on the other, they do not get a sufficient number of problems for their practice for University Examinations. Keeping this in view, all the solved problems as well as the problems given for practice have been based on the same pattern as set in different University and Competitive Examinations. In the beginning of each chapter, some theoretical background has been given so that students may be able to follow the problems easily; at the same time, it will help those who want to have a brief idea of the subject. The book also contains Objective Type Questions and Answers at end of each chapter to serve overall purpose of students referring this book for any type of examination.
