“Andrew Schofield deserves to be regarded as one of the geniuses of soil mechanics of the latter half of the 20th century” Professor Mark F. Randolph, The University of Western Australia, Perth
This book describes the developments leading to the Original Cam Clay model, focusing on fundamentals of the shearing of soil. The aim is to lay the groundwork of understanding that should form the basis of geotechnical design, guiding engineers towards the class of behaviour to be expected under different combinations of effective stress and water content.
