Soil Mechanics Laboratory Manual by Braja Das (2015, Spiral)

Description: About this productProduct InformationSoil Mechanics Laboratory Manual covers the essential properties of soils and their behavior under stress and strain and provides clear, step-by-step explanations for conducting typical soil tests. This market-leading text offers careful explanations of laboratory procedures to help reduceerrors and improve safety. Written by acclaimed author Braja M. Das, Dean Emeritus of Engineering at California State University, Sacramento, this manual also provides a detailed discussion of the AASHTO Classification System and the Unified Soil Classification System.Product IdentifiersPublisherOxford University Press, IncorporatedISBN-100190209666ISBN-139780190209667eBay Product ID (ePID)220645750Product Key FeaturesAuthorBraja DasPublication NameSoil Mechanics Laboratory ManualFormatSpiralLanguageEnglishPublication Year2015TypeTextbookNumber of Pages336 PagesDimensionsItem Length9.1in.Item Height0.9in.Item Width11in.Item Weight34.6 OzAdditional Product FeaturesLc Classification NumberTa710.5.D28 2016Edition Number9Reviews"This text offers a streamlined version of the ASTM standards, which is helpful for students. The example data sets provided within the lab experiments are quite valuable, and that is one of the reasons that I like this lab manual."--Charles E. Pierce, University of South Carolina"This lab manual is designed and written in a clear and straightforward manner, which will make lab teaching and understanding easier. That is what students like and want."--Mamadou Fall, University of Ottawa"I like the fact that units are illustrated in the formulas. This manual is simple to read, the illustrations are great, and the order of the experiments matches how I conduct the lab."--Mohamad Mustafa, Savannah State University, "This text offers a streamlined version of the ASTM standards, which is helpful for students.
