Features: This textbook is one of the planned teaching materials for civil engineering majors in higher education institutions published by the Communications Press. It was compiled in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Education to broaden the scope of majors and strengthen theoretical and practical teaching. It is suitable for civil engineering majors, including transportation civil engineering, construction engineering, foreign-related construction engineering, underground engineering, and other professional directions. In addition to the introduction, the book contains 8 chapters, covering the physical properties and engineering classification of soil, the movement of groundwater in soil, soil stress calculations, soil compressibility and foundation settlement calculations, soil shear strength, earth pressure calculations and retaining wall design, soil slope stability analysis, and foundation bearing capacity. Each chapter is followed by corresponding review questions and exercises, and a soil engineering laboratory manual is provided at the end of the book. This textbook can be used as a classroom teaching material for soil mechanics courses in civil engineering majors and related fields, as well as a reference for civil engineering researchers, designers, and engineering technicians.
