Book Description
This Book Highlights The Procedures For 30 Tests Used To Measure The Engineering Properties Of Soil In Both Laboratory And Field Including Dynamic Testing Of Soils. All The Test Procedures Are Based On Indian Standard Practice And Are Very Close To Astm Standards. Features Of This Book Include: * Test Procedures And Tabular Forms For A Maximum Number Of Field And Laboratory Tests. * Classification Of The Soil Tests Based On Type Of Project And Type Of Soil. * A Set Of Questions Is Presented At The End Of Each Chapter For Self Examination. * For Each Test, Theoretical Principles And The Precautions To Be Followed During The Test Are Explained.This Book Will Be Useful To B.Tech./B.E. (Civil Engineering) And M.E./ M.Tech. (Geotechnical Engineering) Students As Laboratory Manual And Reference Book. It Is Hoped That This Book Will Also Be Useful To Field Engineers As Handbook In Soil Mechanics As It Helps In Deciding The Test Programme For A Given Project. Similarly, The Book Will Be Helpful For Quality Control Engineers.

Geotechnical Laboratory Measurements for Engineers
Author: John T. GermainePublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470150939
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
A comprehensive guide to the most useful geotechnical laboratory measurements Cost effective, high quality testing of geo-materials is possible if you understand the important factors and work with nature wisely. Geotechnical Laboratory Measurements for Engineers guides geotechnical engineers and students in conducting efficient testing without sacrificing the quality of results. Useful as both a lab manual for students and as a reference for the practicing geotechnical engineer, the book covers thirty of the most common soil tests, referencing the ASTM standard procedures while helping readers understand what the test is analyzing and how to interpret the results. Features include: Explanations of both the underlying theory of the tests and the standard testing procedures The most commonly-taught laboratory testing methods, plus additional advanced tests Unique discussions of electronic transducers and computer controlled tests not commonly covered in similar texts A support website at www.wiley.com/college/germaine with blank data sheets you can use in recording the results of your tests as well as Microsoft Excel spreadsheets containing raw data sets supporting the experiments
Geotechnical Engineering in Residual Soils
Author: Laurence D. WesleyPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470644389
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
Wiley has long held a pre-eminent position as a publisher of books on geotechnical engineering, with a particular strength in soil behavior and soil mechanics, at both the academic and professional level. This reference will be the first book focused entirely on the unique engineering properties of residual soil. Given the predominance of residual soils in the under-developed parts of the United States and the Southern Hemisphere, and the increasing rate of new construction in these regions, the understanding of residual soils is expected to increase in importance in the coming years. This book will be written for the practicing geotechnical engineer working to any degree with residual soils. It will describe the unique properties of residual soil and provide innovative design techniques for building on it safely.The author will draw on his 30 years of practical experience as a practicing geotechnical engineer, imbuing the work with real world examples and practice problems influenced by his work in South America and Southeast Asia.
Unsaturated Soil Mechanics in Engineering Practice
Author: Delwyn G. FredlundPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1118280504
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 946
Book Description
The definitive guide to unsaturated soil— from the world's experts on the subject This book builds upon and substantially updates Fredlund and Rahardjo's publication, Soil Mechanics for Unsaturated Soils, the current standard in the field of unsaturated soils. It provides readers with more thorough coverage of the state of the art of unsaturated soil behavior and better reflects the manner in which practical unsaturated soil engineering problems are solved. Retaining the fundamental physics of unsaturated soil behavior presented in the earlier book, this new publication places greater emphasis on the importance of the "soil-water characteristic curve" in solving practical engineering problems, as well as the quantification of thermal and moisture boundary conditions based on the use of weather data. Topics covered include: Theory to Practice of Unsaturated Soil Mechanics Nature and Phase Properties of Unsaturated Soil State Variables for Unsaturated Soils Measurement and Estimation of State Variables Soil-Water Characteristic Curves for Unsaturated Soils Ground Surface Moisture Flux Boundary Conditions Theory of Water Flow through Unsaturated Soils Solving Saturated/Unsaturated Water Flow Problems Air Flow through Unsaturated Soils Heat Flow Analysis for Unsaturated Soils Shear Strength of Unsaturated Soils Shear Strength Applications in Plastic and Limit Equilibrium Stress-Deformation Analysis for Unsaturated Soils Solving Stress-Deformation Problems with Unsaturated Soils Compressibility and Pore Pressure Parameters Consolidation and Swelling Processes in Unsaturated Soils Unsaturated Soil Mechanics in Engineering Practice is essential reading for geotechnical engineers, civil engineers, and undergraduate- and graduate-level civil engineering students with a focus on soil mechanics.
