About Product
This book highlights the procedures for 30 tests used to measure the engineering properties of soil in both laboratory and field including dynamic testing of soils. All the test procedures are based on Indian Standard Practice and are very close to ASTM standards. Features of this book include:Test procedures and tabular forms for a maximum number of field and laboratory tests.Classification of the soil tests based on type of project and type of soil.A set of questions is presented at the end of each chapter for self examination.For each test, theoretical principles and the precautions to be followed during the test are explained.This book will be useful to B.Tech./B.E. (Civil Engineering) and M.E./ M.Tech. (Geotechnical Engineering) students as laboratory manual and reference book. It is hoped that this book will also be useful to field engineers as handbook in soil mechanics as it helps in deciding the test programme for a given project. Similarly, the book will be helpful for quality control engineers.
