The second part of the newly revised DM 7 series, this portion deals with the appli- cation of geotechnical principles to actual structures. Much of the material and the subjects covered are new to this edition. Topics included are as follows: - Prologue: Shear Strength for Geotechnical Design - Geotechnical Design in Problem Soils and Specialty Construction Methods - Excavations - Earthwork, Hydraulic and Underwater Fills - Analysis of Walls and Retaining Structures - Shallow Foundations - Deep Foundations - Probability and Reliability in Geotechniical Engineering Worked examples are included.

For over forty years, the NAVFAC DM (Design Manual) 7 Series has been the classic reference on geotechnical engineering. This volume (Foundations and Earth Structures, DM 7.02) is the second volume. It covers a wide variety of topics, including excavations; compaction, earthwork and hydraulic fills; analysis of walls and retaining structures; shallow foundations, and deep foundations. Complete with glossary. Also with a new foreword and a cover photo by J. Ledlie Klosky.

For over forty years, the NAVFAC DM (Design Manual) 7 Series has been the classic reference on geotechnical engineering. This volume (Soil Mechanics, DM 7.01) is the first volume. It covers many aspects of soil mechanics, including the identification and classification of soil and rock; field exploration, testing and instrumentation; laboratory testing; distribution of stresses; analysis of settlement and volume expansion; seepage and drainage, and; slope stability and protection. Complete with glossary and a foreword by J. Ledlie Klosky.
