Soil Mechanics Lab Manual prepares readers to enter the field with
a collection of the most common soil mechanics tests. The
procedures for all of these tests are written in accordance with
applicable American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
standards.
Video demonstrations for each experiment available on the
website prepare readers before going into the lab, so they know
what to expect and will be able to complete the tests with more
confidence and efficiency. Laboratory exercises and data sheets for
each test are included in the Soil Mechanics Lab Manual.
