About this title

Synopsis:

Updated with considerable new and basic material, this fundamental geotechnical (soils) manual provides the reader with the basic theory of soil engineering and over 19 validated accepted experiments commonly used in engineering practice to evaluate properties of soils. This second edition includes new chapters on the description and identification of soils, and the microwave oven technique of determining soil moisture content. Coverage of consolidated undrained testing is also revised and updated.

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
