Soil Properties and their Correlations, Second Edition Michael
Carter, Geotechnical Consultant (Retired), UK Stephen P Bentley,
Reader in Engineering Geology, Cardiff University, UK An essential
guide to improving preliminary geotechnical analysis and design
from limited data Soil Properties and their Correlations, Second
Edition provides a summary of commonly-used soil engineering
properties and gives a wide range of correlations between the
various properties, presented in the context of how they will be
used in geotechnical design. The book is divided into 11 chapters:
Commonly-measured properties; Grading and plasticity; Density;
Permeability, Consolidation and settlement; Shear strength;
California bearing ratio; Shrinkage and swelling characteristics;
Frost susceptibility; Susceptibility to combustion; and
Soil-structure interfaces. In addition, there are two appendices:
Soil classification systems; and Sampling methods. This new, more
comprehensive, edition provides material that would be of practical
assistance to those faced with the problem of having to estimate
soil behaviour from little or no laboratory test data. Key
features: Soil properties explained in practical terms. A large
number of correlations between different soil properties. A
valuable aid for assessing design values of properties. Clear
statements on practical limitations and accuracy. An invaluable
source of reference for experienced professionals working on
geotechnical design, it will also give students and early-career
engineers an in-depth appreciation of the appropriate use of each
property and the pitfalls to avoid.
