Manual of Soil Laboratory Testing
This volume, the first in a set of three, is a vital working manual which covers the basic tests for the classification and compaction characteristics of engineering soils. It will therefore be an essential practical handbook for all engaged on the testing of soils in a laboratory for building and civil engineering purposes. Based on the authoris experience over many years managing large soil testing laboratories, particular emphasis has been placed on ensuring that procedures are fully understood. Each test procedure has therefore been broken down into simple stages with each step being clearly described. The use of flow diagrams and the setting out of test data and calculations will be of ...
Manual of Soil Laboratory Testing, Permeability, Shear Strength and Compressibility Tests
the second of three volumes that act as laboratory manuals for those involved in geotechnical laboratory testing. Volume 2 covers standard laboratory tests for the measurement of soil permeability, CBR value, shear strength (total stress and fully-drained), and condensation characteristics. This revised edition (1st ed., 1982) takes into account the changes and additions to BS 1377 in the 1990 revision of that Standard, and subsequent amendments. Some miscellaneous tests that are becoming increasingly significant have been added, as well as the ring shear test and an expanded treatment of consolidation tests on peat.

Manual of Soil Laboratory Testing
This 3rd volume completes the long-established key handbook for the laboratory testing of soils. The text covers soil testing in terms of effective stress, for which the measurement of pore water pressure is the essential feature. The principle and theory of effective stress are explained, practical applications are outlined, and the apparatus used, including its calibration and checking, is described. The book has been updated to reflect current practice and instrumentation using electronic data capture. The first two chapters provide the theory. These are followed by a description of the apparatus and associated instrumentation for effective stress triaxial tests and then the test procedures themselves. A description of the accelerated permeability test and procedures for unconsolidated undrained and consolidated undrained triaxial compression tests using a mid-height pore pressure probe have been added, and reference to changes due to Eurocode 7 requirements for sample quality are provided as required. --
Manual of Soil Laboratory Testing, Third Edition
This volume provides a comprehensive working manual for the laboratory testing of soils for civil engineers. It is an essential practical handbook for all who are engaged in laboratory testing of soils as well as being of great value to professional engineers, consultants, academics and students in geotechnical engineering. Revised and updated, the contents reflect current practice in standard laboratory test procedures for determining some of the important engineering properties of soils. The authors have had many years experience in managing large soil testing laboratories since the early 1950s through to the present day, whilst actively contributing to the development of geotechnical test...
Manual of Soil Laboratory Testing, Effective Stress Tests
Volume three of this text covers soil testing in terms of effective stress, for which the measurement of pore water pressure is the essential feature. The principle and theory of effective stress are explained, practical applications are outlined, and the apparatus used, including its calibration and checking, is described.
