Demanding a thorough knowledge of material behaviour and numerical modelling, site characterisation and in situ test interpretation are no longer just basic empirical recommendations. Giving a critical appraisal of the understanding and assessment of the stress-strain-time and strength characteristi..

A step-by-step guide to the basic tests performed in soil mechanics. It presents the information based on American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards, and US Army Corps of Engineers engineering manuals. It discusses the different methods of in situ field methods and ex situ laborator..

Maintaining a careful balance between mathematical rigor and the physical aspects of groundwater movement, this senior undergraduate- and graduate-level environmental engineering text covers the topic from theory to practice. Avoiding unnecessary mathematical subtleties and oversimplifications of qu..
