By providing an expert system and guidance to the reader in its use through examples, the author shows the methods and simple modelling techniques that demystify soil-structure applications by presenting the essentials in a clear and concise way.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book also addresses some of the disappointments in geo-engineering by providing tools to calculate deformations, implement soil-structure interaction procedures,   provide simple computer solutions, while incorporating proper soil and rock properties in the analyses. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eCan be used by students or practicing professional engineers as a hands-on self-study guide as prewritten complete Excel spreadsheets and VBA programs are applied to many different Civil Engineering example problems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eVBA code techniques and its use and programming are explained but a working knowledge is not required to use the spreadsheet and programs provided\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eComputations are performed using VBA macro programs getting input data from worksheet cells (whereby the spreadsheet functions as a pre-processor) or from input data files  \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRobert L.
