Foundation Analysis (Civil engineering and engineering mechanics series)

Ronald Scott was an internationally acclaimed expert in soil mechanics and foundation engineering-or geotechnical engineering as it is now known-his research interests included the basic properties of soils and how they deform, the dynamics of landslides, the behavior of soil in earthquakes, the physical chemistry and mechanics of ocean-bottom soil, the physics of the freezing and thawing processes in soils, and the properties of the moon's surface.
