PRENTICE/HALL

For courses on Soils, Soil Mechanics, or Soils/Foundations in Departments of Civil Technology, Construction Technology, or Civil and Geotechnical Engineering.Written in a clear, direct style, this practical text introduces students to the essentials of soil mechanics and foundations. Major emphasis is given to design and practical applications, which are supported by basic theory.

Soils and Foundations

Prentice Hall College Div.

Updated with considerable new and basic material, this fundamental geotechnical (soils) manual provides the reader with the basic theory of soil engineering and over 19 validated accepted experiments commonly used in engineering practice to evaluate properties of soils. This second edition includes new chapters on the description and identification of soils, and the microwave oven technique of determining soil moisture content. Coverage of consolidated undrained testing is also revised and updated.

Soil Properties: Testing, Measurement, and Evaluation

Science & Math

Jack B. Evett

Agricultural Sciences

This text offers a practical approach to soil mechanics and foundations, with application to real-world design solutions for civil technology and engineering. This material is presented in a clear, direct style with just enough mathematics to support the design concepts. Several new illustrations have been added to enhance student comprehension
