A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

A revision of the classic in the field, Soils in Construction is intended for students and professionals who are more interested in the construction management and field applications of soil technology than in the engineering theory side. The text uses simple math and applications to explore the nature of soils and how the soil materials may affect certain construction operations. An appendix of laboratory testing exercises provides hands-on practice with basic principles and procedures.

Some of the key features include:

• Expanded overview of the geology of soils and rocks.
• Improved classification aids for the Unified system.
• More complete description of borrow and fill calculations.
• Description of OSHA's requirements for trench safety and configuration.
• New description of pile driving and driven pile design and testing.
• Breakout of all of the examples so students can more readily follow the methods of problem solving.
• Addition of SI units to some of the calculations.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

For introductory courses in Soils and Foundations or Soil Mechanics in civil engineering technology or construction technology and architecture departments.

Designed for those students who will probably not be taking further courses in soil mechanics and foundations, this text uses only simple mathematics and emphasizes applications to explore the nature of soils and how they can influence certain construction operations. A comprehensive appendix of laboratory testing exercises provides hands-on practice of basic principles and procedures.
