Description:
Completely updated & expanded, it takes into account the changes & additions to BS 1377 plus references to NAMAS requirements for tests & calibration, as well as extensive coverage of the latest ASTM Standards. A working manual for all those involved in geotechnical laboratory testing, volume one discusses basic tests for soil classification & compaction. Every test is broken down into simple stages & described step-by-step. More complex procedures are illustrated by flow diagrams & many numerical examples are given to demonstrate the methods of calculation. Volume Two covers standard laboratory tests for the measurement of soil permeability, CBR values, shear strength, & consolidation characteristics. The Third Volume contains material on effective stress triaxial tests of various kinds.
