Since I do not have access to the specific text of the PDF file you mentioned ( Mecánica de Suelos - Juárez Badillo Tomo 2 ), I cannot summarize its exact pages or specific problem sets. MECANICA DE SUELOS - JUAREZ BADILLO TOMO 2.pdf
"Mecánica de Suelos - Juárez Badillo & Rico Rodríguez, Tomo 2" is a foundational, 700+ page geotechnical textbook published by Editorial Limusa, focusing on advanced theory and applications in settlement, slope stability, and foundation design. The text emphasizes specialized regional applications, including unique, highly compressible volcanic clays and soil behavior under freezing conditions.

The authors warn against ignoring creep in Mexico City’s lacustrine clay, where secondary settlements can exceed primary settlements by a factor of 2. "They don't care about physics, Luis

Luis didn't look up. His fingers traced the lines of a graph showing pore water pressure. "If they dump rubble there without drainage, they’ll build a reservoir behind the wall. It won’t hold. It will liquefy the foundation." If you share with third parties, their policies apply
Given the authors’ Mexican background, Tomo 2 is unique in its detailed treatment of volcanic soils with high void ratios, low density, but high friction angles. Design recommendations are provided for foundations in these problematic materials.
The immense authority and dissemination of this work lie in the remarkable careers of its two authors. (Mexico City, November 1, 1926 – ), considered the father of modern soil mechanics in Mexico, earned his doctorate at UNAM and a master’s degree from Harvard University. As a professor of postgraduate studies at UNAM, he shaped generations of geotechnical engineers.
