This course intended for use of application of soil
mechanics to different practical problems in graduate level course. The
first three modules are on application of the principles of soil
mechanics to problems of slopes and embankments and earth dams. The
remaining three modules, dealing with flexible retaining structures and
buried structures and excavations are presented in such a manner that
readers who are unfamiliar with the subject will not face any serious
problems in understanding. The basic concepts are presented in the
earlier sections of each chapter and are then followed by more advanced
topics. A number of example problem are given in each chapter as well
as a fairly large number of representative problem at the end of each
module.
