The book provides a comprehensive overview of various aspects of geotechnicaengineering. It is divided into nine chapters that cover different topics related to the field: introduction to geotechnical engineering, the properties of rock materials, the properties of rock mass, the physical properties of soil, constitutive relationships of rocks, slope engineering and stability, underground engineering, numerical methods for geotechnical engineering, and developments of geotechnical engineering. The book also includes a list of academic journals, explanations of technical terms, and key vocabulary related to the field of geotechnical engineering. It provides readers with additional resources to further understand the research trends and professional terminology in the field.
In addition to being used as a textbook for undergraduate students, this book can also be selected as a textbook for graduate students. It can also serve as a reference book for teachers in higher education institutions, researchers in scientific research institutes, and engineering departments, as well as engineering technicians.
