Soils and Waves covers very modern and up-to-date mechanics, combined with contemporary techniques for non-destructive research of granular materials comparable with geotechnical methods such as ground penetrating radar, and even non-invasive medical procedures such as magnetic resonance scanning and x-ray. With this new edition Santamarina offers a logically organized, concise text that enables the reader to understand the concepts of a wide range of topics. Emphasis is placed on clear, simple analyses and explanations of complex physical phenomena, making this book ideal for self-study. Divided into five parts, the first part concentrates on the problem of scale, the second part reviews the behavior of particulate materials, The third and fourth parts center on the propagation of mechanical and electromagnetic waves in particulate materials, and the fifth part applies elastic and electromagnetic waves to monitoring process in soils. Soils and Waves, 2nd edition is revised throughout to streamline its educational structure, and to include consideration of biological factors in every part. The author has added new material on many topics including but not limited to spatial variability, soil formation, particle shape, friction, inherent and stress induced anisotropy, thermal properties, engineering soil properties and data fusion. Tables with values for the different parameters are also added throughout.
