Trends in Research and Development of Geotechnical Engineering
Abstract
This paper starts from the failure criterion postulated by Coulomb in 1773, summarises the main geotechnical engineering developments of the last fifty years, and looks at the emerging trends in recent years. It also makes an attempt to identify the role of geotechnical engineers involved in research and development in the present environment.
