Tomo 2 meticulously presents Terzaghi’s bearing capacity equation for shallow foundations: [ q_u = c N_c + \gamma D_f N_q + 0.5\gamma B N_\gamma ] Juárez Badillo provides extensive tables of bearing capacity factors (N_c, N_q, N_\gamma) for general and local shear failure modes. The authors critique Terzaghi’s assumptions (e.g., neglecting shear above the base) and introduce modifications by Meyerhof and Hansen, which account for foundation shape, load inclination, and depth factors.

Detailed step-by-step procedures are given for stability checks: MECANICA DE SUELOS - JUAREZ BADILLO TOMO 2.pdf

Without specific details on the content, updates, and the target audience's reception, a general assessment suggests that "MECANICA DE SUELOS" by Juárez Badillo, Tomo 2, could be a valuable resource for: Direct Shear Test and Triaxial Test:

Its effectiveness would largely depend on how well it balances theory with practical examples and its ability to convey complex concepts in an accessible manner.

For infinite slopes, the factor of safety (FS) is derived as: [ FS = \frac\tan\phi\tan\beta + \fracc\gamma z \cos^2\beta \tan\beta ] For finite slopes, the authors focus on the Swedish Circle Method (Fellenius) and the Bishop Simplified Method. Tomo 2 includes hand-calculation templates and monographs for locating the critical slip circle. Pore Pressure Parameters:
