Soil Mechanics
by T. William Lambe and Robert V. Whitman · Lambe
Classic MIT-derived treatment of soil behavior under dry, saturated and transient conditions, covering effective stress, permeability, consolidation and shear strength. Working through it builds the theoretical footing behind settlement and slope-stability analysis used in practice.
