This book is compiled according to the domestic soil mechanics syllabus and theBritish undergraduate teaching materials, and has been used and revised by severalundergraduate courses. Main features: First, English-Chinese comparison is convenientfor professional vocabulary learning and teaching of foreign students; Second, it isconcise, highlighting the basic concepts and principles; The third is to straighten outthe logical relationship of knowledge points according to cognitive rules, so thatstudents can grasp the course as a whole.本书根据国内土力学教学大纲和英国本科教材进行编译,经过多届本科生教学使用并修订而成。本书主要特点:一是英汉对照,便于专业词汇学习和留学生教学;二是内容层次简明,突出基本概念和基本原理;三是按认知规律理顺知识点间逻辑关系,便于学生从整体上把握土力学课程的知识体系。This book is divided into 10 chapters, mainly including the physical properties ofsoils, stress distribution in soils, flow of water through soils, consolidation and settlement of soils, shear strength of soils, lateral earth pressure, slope stability, foundation bearing capacity, engineering geological investigation, and intelligentcompaction. Each chapter is accompanied by exercises at the end of the book forstudents’ practice.本书共分10 章,主要包括:土的物理性质、土中应力分布、土的渗流、土的固结与沉降、土的抗剪强度、土压力、边坡稳定性、地基承载力、工程地质勘察和智能压实。每章附有习题,供学生练习。This book can be used as a bilingual course textbook of soil mechanics forundergraduate students of civil engineering and related majors in colleges anduniversities and a textbook for foreign students. It can also be used as a referencebook for relevant scientific and technological personnel.本书可作为高等院校土木工程及相关专业本科生土力学双语课程教材和留学生教材,也可作为相关科技人员的学习参考资料。
