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 describes
the 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.
