    A new approach to assessment of the stress-strain condition of foundation and earth structures is presented which permits limit-state computations. The book includes a discussion of soil plasticity and dynamic consolidation in terms of rheological processes due to static and dynamic loading.

    Cohesionless soil; clayey soil; subsiding soils; thawing soils; basic equations and algorithms of engineering design; computation of settlement and stress-strain condition of natural foundations of industrial and civil engineering structures; design of bored cast-in-place piles; stress-strain computations for earth dams. Appendices: Viscoplasticity of ice and frozen ground; long-term stability and creep of structures on slopes.
