Description
This book covers tests used to investigate the strength, stiffness and consolidation of soils not included in the common national and international standards. The book is arranged in two parts: the first part covers the aspects of modern soil mechanics related to advanced soil testing including the purposes, objectives and requirements principal of soil testing. The second part of the book considers the important advanced soil tests individually. With contributions from international authorities in the field this book is essential for practicing geotechnical engineers and those researching in the field.
