Features: This book adopts a relatively unique presentation method. The main text is divided into 14 chapters and 401 sections, with each section containing one illustration, meaning the entire book is summarized and comprehensively introduces the full scope of geotechnical engineering through 401 illustrations. This includes the design analysis methods and construction techniques of soil mechanics principles, site investigation, laboratory tests, shallow foundations, pile foundations, foundation pit engineering, and other aspects. The annotations and keywords in the illustrations are translated into both English and Chinese. At the end of the main text, there are bilingual glossaries (English-Chinese and Chinese-English) for commonly used terms in geotechnical engineering, each containing approximately 1,400 entries. This book can serve as a teaching reference for faculty and students of relevant majors in Chinese universities and vocational colleges, as well as a portable tool for daily use. It can also be used as a reference for practicing geotechnical engineers for further studies.
