Soil Mechanics Laboratory Manual, Tenth Edition, is designed to get dirty. This ideal complement to any Geotechnical Engineering and Soil Mechanics textbook is ring-bound and 'flexi-covered' so students can have it on hand at the lab bench or in the field. Content is organized around standard lab-project workflow: It includes more than twenty-five lab projects that are closely aligned to current ASTM standards followed by data sheets for collecting field data and another set for preparing laboratory reports.
