Description.
A core text for one-semester, undergraduate/graduate-level courses in Soil Mechanics and a supplement for courses in Geotechnical Engineering.
Innovative in perspective, this text offers a modern approach to basic experimental techniques for the determination of soil properties. It contains more than twenty hands-on laboratory experiments. Spreadsheet programs are included for data processing and graphical results
Features.
+ Focuses on the experimental techniques of soil mechanics -- and the basic principles underlying the techniques.
+ Considers recent developments in experimental techniques as well as standard testing procedures.
+ Contains a progressive series of twenty-two experiments. Provides for each:
-Theory
-Equipment
-Experimental procedures (illustrated with photos and illustrations)
-Data processing
-Review questions and exercises
+ Modernizes the processing of experimental data with spreadsheets on personal computers.
-Includes a floppy disk (Microsoft Excel for Windows and MAC platforms) with examples of processed experimental data sets.
-Offers several unprocessed data sets (in exercises) of laboratory experiments).
+ Gives typical values of soil properties and empirical correlations to compare with classroom or laboratory results.
+ Provides suggestions for preparing organized laboratory reports.
