Description
The testing of unsaturated soils requires greater care and effort than that of saturated soils.
Although unsaturated soil mechanics has been embraced by geotechnical engineering, engineering practice has not yet caught up as the characterization of unsaturated soils is difficult and time-consuming, and made harder still by a lack of standards. Laboratory Tests for Unsaturated Soils collates test procedures to cover all laboratory tests for characterising unsaturated soils.
It covers the background, theory, test procedures, and interpretation of test results.
Each test procedure is broken down into simple stages and described in detail.
The pitfalls of each test and the interpretation of the test results are explained.
Test data and calculation methods are given, along with many numerical examples to illustrate the methods of interpretation and to offer the presentation of typical results. The book is especially useful for students and researchers who are new to the field and provides a practical handbook for engineering applications.
