Soil mechanics
A Ph.D. student in Geoengineering designed this website, which includes information on the history of geoengineering, PowerPoint tutorials on topics including soil compaction, permeability, and classification, full-text online papers and dissertations on soil mechanics, and links to free slope stability and site characterization software.
MIT's 1.361 / 1.032 / 1.366: Advanced Soil Mechanics, Fall 2004
Jen, Lucy; Ladd, Charles.This MIT course includes extensive course notes on soil mechanics including laboratory and field evaluation of characteristics and classification of different types of soils, slope stability, and stress, strain and seepage behaviors.
Links to the full-text of articles, online textbooks, dissertations, and manuals on soil mechanics, including topics such as unsaturated soils, laboratory testing, and problematic soils.
