Soil MechanicsCalculations, Principles, and Methods\nAuthor(s): Victor Kaliakin\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Elsevier - Health Sciences Division, United States\nImprint: Butterworth-Heinemann Inc\nISBN-13: 9780128044919, 978-0128044919\nSynopsis\nSoil Mechanics: Calculations, Principles, and Methods provides expert insights into the nature of soil mechanics through the use of calculation and problem-solving techniques. This informed reference begins with basic principles and calculations, illustrating physical meanings of the unit weight of soil, specific gravity, water content, void ratio, porosity, saturation, and their typical values. This is followed by calculations that illustrate the need for soil identification, classification, and ways to obtain soil particle size distribution, including sizes smaller than [url] performance, and the use of liquid and plastic limit tests. The book goes on to provide expert coverage regarding the use of soil identification and classification.
