• Coverage on computer-assisted analytical methods, balanced with standard methods such as site visits and the role of engineering geology
• Methods for computing the capacity and settlement of both shallow and deep foundations
• Field-testing methods and sample case studies, including projects where foundations have failed, supported with analyses of the failure
• CD-ROM containing demonstration versions of analytical geotechnical software from Ensoft, Inc. tailored for use by students in the classroom
