Summary
  • This concise and authoritative work describes the equipment, methods and techniques used for measurement of soil pressure for monitoring soil-structure interaction. It is based on results of hundreds of large-scale tests and field experiments that have been conducted by Dr. Lazebnik and his colleagues in the past 30 to 40 years.
  • The book incorporates original data and emphasizes a practical approach to developing, calibrating, and installing soil pressure measuring devices for monitoring soil-structure interaction. It offers numerous practical examples where these devices of miscellaneous designs can be used.
  • This book is an indispensable source of information to those involved with manufacturing of soil pressure measuring instruments, investigation of soil-structure interaction phenomenon, professional geotechnical, foundation and civil engineers, and post-graduate students for their advanced studies of the subject of soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering.
