Riassunto:

This unique manual guides users step-by-step through the hows and whys of the most commonly used testing methods in civil engineering practice?those based on the latest American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). The book uses a consistent ?Procedure,? ?Data,? and ?Calculations? format for each test; contains completely worked examples showing the computations required for the analysis and evaluation of the test data collected; discusses what data, results, and other information should be presented in the test report; and explains what the test results will be used for in practical engineering problems. Blank data reporting forms and graph papers are provided for most tests, and an accompanying CD-ROM contains state-of-the-art, user-friendly software for compiling test data, performing calculations, plotting curves, and obtaining final results. For individuals interested in a construction or civil engineering technology

Recensione:

"As a laboratory textbook, it is extremely accurate, detailed; and complex. This text would also be excellent for application in training a technician for an industry laboratory or geo-testing company." ― Timothy W. Zeigler, Southern Polytechnic State University

"Overall, the manual does an excellent job in presenting the principles of soil mechanics and the laboratory experiments." ― Dr. Mohammad Najafi, PE, Director, Trenchless Research & Development Center; Visiting Associate Professor, University of Missouri, Columbia
