Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This classic text covers the fundamentals of soil properties, including testing, measurement, and evaluation. Providing both in-field and laboratory testing, the range of material reflects the most commonly used methods to evaluate soil properties for engineering purposes. Written in a clear and direct style, this new edition explains each test procedure and offers guidelines to help students evaluate laboratory data as well as present results properly.
Key Features:
Synopsis: This geotechnical laboratory manual for civil engineering, civil engineering technology, and construction science students and professionals uses a simple, direct style to explain each test procedure. It offers guidelines on collecting and evaluating data, as well as presenting the results properly: Typical values are given for many of the tests to help students decide if their results are reasonable. Some of the key features include:
Synopsis:System requirements for accompanying CD-ROM: IBM PC or compatible system; Windows 95 or higher.
Includes bibliographical references. About the AuthorCheng Liu obtained his Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from National Taiwan University and his Master of Science in Civil Engineering from West Virginia University. Jack B. Evett received his Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering and Master of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of South Carolina and his Doctor of Philosophy from Texas AandM University. Together, they have over 80 years of professional experience as a highway engineer in a state highway department, a soils engineer in a consulting engineering company, and a professor and administrator in a state university.
