Kano Yosuke: Soil mechanics

With the arrival of summer, we occasionally hear news of landslides caused by torrential downpours during the rainy season. What exactly causes roads to collapse and landslides to occur? While one might vaguely assume that they collapse simply because of heavy rain, there are clear reasons and underlying principles. Soil mechanics is the study of soil, which serves as the very foundation supporting the infrastructure industry. Starting with the definition of soil, this book covers a diverse range of topics related to soil mechanics that are easily recognizable, such as ground conditions, groundwater, retaining walls, roads, and bearing capacity. Explaining concepts easily through comics from the author's unique perspective and using examples of principles found in everyday life, even non-specialists and the general public can easily grasp the concepts of soil and soil mechanics. While one might expect a comic-based learning book to be focused solely on entertainment, this book strikes a balance between the ease of the comic format and the systematic nature of engineering by theoretically explaining and organizing the concepts presented in the comics within the "follow-up" sections. Soil mechanics is the foundation of social infrastructure! Although this book covers soil mechanics, it also assists students starting to study in infrastructure-related fields such as construction and civil engineering, which are closely related to soil mechanics. Therefore, it will be of great help to students considering careers in civil engineering and engineering.
