I’ve described this site as the “printed home of NAVFAC DM 7,” and that’s certainly been the case (along with the download home) for a long time. Now that we finally have NAVFAC DM 7.2 as replacement for the venerable NAVFAC DM 7.02, it’s time to announce that this is in print and available.
A brief table of contents of this book is as follows:
- Prologue: Shear Strength for Geotechnical Design
- Geotechnical Design in Problem Soils and Specialty Construction Methods
- Excavations
- Earthwork, Hydraulic and Underwater Fills
- Analysis of Walls and Retaining Structures
- Shallow Foundations
- Deep Foundations
- Probability and Reliability in Geotechniical Engineering
Thank you for your patience with this. In the coming weeks I’ll be doing a review of the various sections of the book. It’s an interesting and helpful revision to the work and I’m looking forward to digging into it.
The previous volume stated the following:
DM 7.1 has been on the bookshelf of many civil engineers, it has been used in many graduate and undergraduate soil mechanics classed attended by generations of geotechnical engineering students, and charts and correlations from the document have been cited in numerous textbooks and research papers.
The main reason it ended up on bookshelves is because we’ve spent the last fifteen years or so putting it out and you’ve been buying it. The “new” DM 7.1 has followed the trend; we hope you find DM 7.2 in print satisfactory as well.
