Laboratory Tests for Unsaturated Soils
Autor Eng-Choon Leong, Martin Wijayaen Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 feb 2023
Laboratory Tests for Unsaturated Soils collates test procedures to cover all laboratory tests for characterising unsaturated soils. It covers the background, theory, test procedures, and interpretation of test results. Each test procedure is broken down into simple stages and described in detail. The pitfalls of each test and the interpretation of the test results are explained. Test data and calculation methods are given, along with many numerical examples to illustrate the methods of interpretation and to offer the presentation of typical results.
The book is especially useful for students and researchers who are new to the field and provides a practical handbook for engineering applications.
