Dimitrios (University of Innsbruck) Kolymbas

Opis

An in-depth, comprehensible approach to theoretical soil mechanics and an introduction to the new theory of barodesy.

Recenzje

'This work by Kolymba is simply fantastic: as a primer on 'continuum mechanics adapted to soil, a granular material' (p. ix) it is surprisingly - even incredibly - readable and readily understandable, against all possibly preemptive expectations held by prospective readers … a very attractive textbook choice for any student of geology, engineering, or soil science … Highly recommended.' M. S. Field, Choice
