Review
"As a laboratory textbook, it is extremely accurate, detailed; and complex. This text would also be excellent for application in training a technician for an industry laboratory or geo-testing company." ― Timothy W. Zeigler, Southern Polytechnic State University
"Overall, the manual does an excellent job in presenting the principles of soil mechanics and the laboratory experiments." ― Dr. Mohammad Najafi, PE, Director, Trenchless Research & Development Center; Visiting Associate Professor, University of Missouri, Columbia
From the Back Cover
This geotechnical laboratory manual for civil engineering, civil engineering technology, and construction science students and professionals uses a simple, direct style to explain each test procedure. It offers guidelines on collecting and evaluating data, as well as presenting the results properly: Typical values are given for many of the tests to help students decide if their results are reasonable.
Some of the key features include:- Updated to conform to the very latest information from ASTM.
- Definitions and objectives of tests are fully explained.
- Step-by-step numerical calculations.
- Engineering uses of the tests to show how the results are used in practical engineering applications.
- A unique chapter presents a visual-manual procedure for describing and identifying soils.
- Coverage of the consolidated undrained (CU) triaxial test.
- Photographs of various types of soil testing equipment.
- Software included that allows the user to more easily analyze collected data.
