About the Book

This manual is intended as a text supplement for the laboratory portion of a course in soil mechanics, geotechnical engineering or engineering properties of soils. It is suited for either a first or second course in the subject taught at the junior, senior, or graduate level and contains enough material for two courses. This manual has been widely used in previous editions and, in this edition, has been substantially rewritten for a more logical flow of topics as well as to reflect the latest industry standards and the use of the computer. This laboratory manual is a simplified digest of the principal details of the most common laboratory soil test encountereed in geotechnical practice. It offers some discussion of each test, sources of error and limitations, and where appropriate, select references. Along with the discussion of equipment modification and alternative aproaches, the student is encouraged to comment on test immprovements. The special binding allows the manual to lie flat, and makes it easy to set the page of text instructions while doing the test details, and allows data sheets to be removed. Laboratory tests adhere more closely to the ASTM and AASHTO standards for testing of soils, and all test procedures have been rewritten to improve both details and clarity. The data sheets have been extensively revised to comply with consistent SI units and to make them easier to use, both for older methods of load rings and dial gages and modern methods of electronic equipment (load cells and LVDT's). An accompanying diskette written in Fortran and compiled for immediate execution on any DOS-based PC, includes programs for Tests 5, 6, 13, 14, 15 and 16 and for Project 8.
