Even tons of soil mechanics, foundation engineering and any textsbooks related to geotechnical problems are available in past 50 years, Theoretical Soil Mechanics by Terzaghi is still the best soil mechanics reference ever. It is excellent soil mechanics textbook since the contents describe not only numerical methods but also the physical meaning underlying those methods in geotech field. Many geotechnical textbooks, right now, can be categorized as applications of the soil mechanics theories contained in this textbook.
