Soil Engineering: Testing, Design, and Remediation, (Hardcover)

In the last forty years, at least fifty books have been written on the subject of soil mechanics, most of them textbooks. Only a few touch on practical applications. Soil Engineering: Testing, Design, and Remediation supplies the information needed to fill the gap between textbook learning and practical know-how. The book conveys the practical meaning of the different aspects of soil mechanics, the use of unconfined compression test data, the meaning of consolidated tests, the practical value of lateral pressure, and much more. It is a hands-on, ready reference and an essential tool for any consultant working in the field.
