The application of statistics to civil engineering design is a new and developing field, and the growing acceptance of limit state design is encouraging the use of probability theory for determining values. A further development is the use of the reliability index in geotechnical design, now becoming recognised as a powerful alternative to the use of partial safety factors. This book presents a straightforward summary of the most important aspects of statistics and probability theory that are relevant in civil engineering, particularly in the field of soil mechanics.

This well-established textbook presents, in as concise a form as possible, the applications of soil mechanics that are now being used in civil engineering and includes in the text, a liberal number of worked examples. This fifth edition has been thoroughly revised to cover the changes occuring in the subject since the publication of the previous edition in 1977, and the test has been extended to include a straightforward introduction to critical state theory, a topic which has become increasingly important in soil mechanics.This well-established textbook presents, in as concise a form as possible, the applications of soil mechanics that are now being used in civil engineering and includes in the text, a liberal number of worked examples.
