A step-by-step text on the basic tests performed in soil mechanics,
Introduction to Soil Mechanics Laboratory Testing provides
procedural aids and elucidates industry standards. It also covers
how to properly present data and document results. Containing
numerical examples and figures, the information presented is based
on American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards, and
US Army Corps of Engineers engineering manuals.
The authors discuss the different methods of "in situ" field
methods and "ex situ" laboratory methods of soil description and
identification. They present equations for the physical properties
of soil and laboratory methods of soil classification. They also
discuss tests for the interaction of soil and water, and hydraulic
conductivity and consolidation. These tests produce information
useful in the identification and characterization of soil samples
and their engineering behaviors.
A comprehensive resource, the book describesthe evaluation of
physical properties of soils, including mass, weight, unit weight,
and mass density of the soil mass and its component phases. These
properties are then expanded to define a number of weight and
volumetric relationships. The book also discusses tests used in the
evaluation of the density-water content relationships in soils and
in the evaluation of the quality of compaction operations. These
features and more make this book an excellent guide for testing
soils.
