Problem Solving in Soil Mechanics is primarily designed as a supplement to Soil Mechanics: Basic Concepts and Engineering Applications, but can be used as an independent problem solving text, since there is no specific reference to any equation or figure in the main book. This book is written for university students taking first-degree courses in civil engineering, environmental and agricultural engineering. Its main aim is to stimulate problem solving learning as well as facilitating self-teaching. The book is written with the following objectives:

1.  To present the solution of unsolved problems of Soil Mechanics: Basic Concepts and Engineering Applications.

2,  To provide all necessaiy methods, equations and figures in a clear step by step explanation of the solution to each problem.

The National Uranium Resource Evaluation (NURE) Program was established in 1973 by the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) which later became the U. S. Energy Research and Development Administration (EKDA) and is now funded by the United States Department of Energy (DOE). The principal objectives of the NURE Program are as follows:
1. To complete a comprehensive assessment of the uranium reserves of the United States as rapidly as possible,
2. To identify areas favorable for uranium resources, and
3. To develop new and improved technologies. <...>

Having been a part of marine biota, the coleoid cephalopods played and recently still play an important role in nekton assemblages. As it has several times been mentioned, coleoid cephalopods belong to rarer fossils (except belemnites), thus the reconstruction of their evolution, paleobiology and ecology suggests the combined actualistic - neontologic and palaeontologic approach. This completely opens a new view into a fascinating and amazing world of extinct and present coleoids, their habitat, relationships and evolution.<...>
