Scott C.R. An introduction to soil mechanics and foundations

3rd ed., Applied Science Publishers Ltd, London. – 1980. – 409 p. – ISBN: 0-85334-873-1This book is mainly intended to meet the needs of undergraduate students of Civil Engineering. A certain amount of factual information, in the form of design charts and tables, has been included. I hope, therefore, that the book will prove to be of use to the students when their courses are over, and will help to bridge the awkward gap between theory and practice.The analysis and classification of soils

A model for shear strength of soil
General soil models
Plasticity, limit analysis, and limiting equilibrium
