โฆ Synopsis
Now in its sixth edition, Soil Mechanics and Laboratory Manual is Designed for the junior level soil mechanics/geotechnical engineering laboratory course in civil Engineering programs. It includes eighteen laboratory procedures that cover the essential properties of soils and their behaviour under stress and strain, as well as explanations, procedures, sample calculations, and completed and blank data sheets. Written by Braja M. Das, respected author of market-leading texts in geotechnical and foundation engineering, this unique manual provides a detailed discussion of the AASHTO Classification System and the Unified Soil Classification System udpated to conform to recent ASTM especifications.

It is critical to quantify the various properties of soil in order to predict how it will behave under field loading for the safe design of soil structures. Quantification of these properties is performed using standardized laboratory tests. This lab manual prepares readers to enter the field with a
