Kézdi Árpád: Handbook of Soil Mechanics. Volume 1. Soil Physics

˝Professor Kézdi's Handbook of Soil Mechanics now appears, in this comletely revised and updated version, for the first time in English. It will consist of four volumes, dealing with the physical properties of soils, with applications int the field of foundation engineering, earthworks and road construction, soil testing, practical applications and case histories, respectively. Volume 1. Soil Physics, provides the reader with the theoretical background necessary for solving geotechnical problems associated with soil mechanics, and will thus contribule towards a better understanding of soil behaviour by presenting a comprehensive treatment of the subject to serve as an introduction to the applications.˝
