Synopsis
Laboratory and field testing of soils establish the properties and parameters for the design of civil engineering projects. These projects cover all sorts of construction ranging from docks, harbours and offshore platforms to deep foundations, excavations and tunnels. Many of these jobs are complex in design and take place in problematic soils and in regions where earthquake, landslides and floods are common. Many design problems are resolvable by the use of physical modelling in the centrifuge and by numerical modelling in the computer. These sophisticated analyses now require sophisticated input ground parameters, which depends crucially on accurate and effective advanced testing of soils
Illustrated in each chapter with case studies, this key reference is arguably the only up-to-date single-volume reference to the subject and is set to be the definitive work in the field, written both for professionals and graduate students and university use.
