Based on the Amrican Society for Testing and Materials procedures, the most commonly used methods in civil engineering practice, this laboratory manual has been expanded and updated to include current information. The classification of soils for engineering purposes is covered.
"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
