HANDBOOK OF SOIL MECHANICS - VOLUME 2. SOIL TESTING

The first part of this book describes laboratory tests based on internationally accepted methods. It focusses on the reliability and reproducibility of individual investigations and analyses sources of error. Part two gives an account of the most important field tests: investigation of groundwater, investigation of the load bearing capacity and earthworks investigation. (TRRL)
