Introduction to Soil Mechanics Laboratory Testing

Autor Dante Fratta, Jennifer Aguettant, Lynne Roussel-Smith
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 mai 2007
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.

Recenzii

“Type and amount of soil used, equipment needed, step-by-step testing procedures, and methods of analyses are all illustrated with pictures …very helpful to students who have never done such experiments. Summing up: Recommended. Lower-and upper-division undergraduates; two year technical program students.”

Descriere

A step-by-step guide to the basic tests performed in soil mechanics, Introduction to Soil Mechanics Laboratory Testing features procedural aids and industry standards to guide students in the lab. This comprehensive textbook discusses the different methods of in situ soil description and identification. The authors present equations related to physical properties of soil and laboratory methods of soil classification. They cover common tests used in design and construction and that deal with the interaction of soil and water, including hydraulic conductivity and consolidation tests. The book also discusses the shear strength of soil and methods of determining it.
