Features: Soil mechanics is an important professional basic course for civil, hydraulic, and related disciplines. This textbook is compiled based on the basic requirements and training objectives for teaching civil engineering programs in vocational and technical colleges and technical universities. During the writing process, emphasis is placed on linking theory with practice, with a focus on the practical needs of road and bridge engineering applications, making it highly targeted. The book is divided into nine chapters, primarily introducing the fundamental principles, theories, and methods of soil mechanics. The content includes the physical and mechanical properties of soil and its engineering classification, stress calculation in soil, soil permeability and seepage analysis, foundation deformation and analysis, soil shear strength, earth pressure calculation, slope stability analysis, foundation bearing capacity, and the dynamic properties of soil. Each chapter begins with a content summary and learning objectives, and ends with discussion questions and exercises. This textbook is suitable for students of civil engineering programs in vocational and technical colleges, technical universities, and engineering technicians.
