Summary

Soil testing plays an ever increasing role in civil engineering projects. As a result, specifying soil testing is an increasingly important task for civil engineers. The various properties of soil are an invaluable tool in preparing specifications. The specifications should include requirements for conformance testing and acceptance of soils. Soil testing that is ambiguous may cause serious problems. Therefore soil testing in civil engineering should be worded with precision. The book includes the various types and testing of soils. The text is illustrated by numerous figures. The book provides a completely up-to-date compendium of different soil testing methods and step by step procedure for the analysis and design of all civil engineering works. It is hoped that the book will be useful to students, researchers, consultants and practising engineers in geotechnical and civil engineering.
