Compared to the third edition, the text is now divided into 11 chapters. Stresses and displacements in a soil mass are now presented in two chapters with two-dimensional problems in Chapter 3 and three-dimensional problems in Chapter 4. Permeability and seepage are now presented in two separate chapters (Chapters 6 and 7). Similarly, the settlement of shallow foundations is now presented in two chapters—elastic settlement in Chapter 10 and consolidation settlement in Chapter 11. Several new example problems have been added. SI units have been used throughout the text.
