Soil Mechanics Laboratory Manual, Fifth Edition is designed for a laboratory course in soil mechanics (also called geotechnical engineering) that commonly accompanies a lecture course in the same subject. The book is designed for junior-level (third-year) undergraduate courses in civil engineering departments and includes laboratory procedures essential to understanding the properties of soils and their behavior under stress and strain. Features - Includes sample calculations and graphs relevant to each laboratory test - Supplies blank tables (that accompany each test) for laboratory use and report preparation - Contains a new chapter on soil classification (Chapter 9) - Provides two useful appendices: Appendix A: Weight-Volume Relationships Appendix B: Data Sheets for Laboratory Experiments - Offers a list of relevant references

Soil Mechanics
Craig's Soil Mechanics continues to evolve and remain the definitive text for civil engineering students worldwide, as well as a useful reference for practising engineers.
The fifth edition of this established textbook offers a well-tailored resource for graduate students in geotechnical engineering, bridging the gap between undergraduate basics and leading-edge graduate level.
Further, this manual covers data collection, analysis, computations, additional considerations, sources of error, precautionary measures, and the presentation results along with well-defined illustrations for each of the listed tests.
Presents an illustrative treatment of the testing techniques of soils in the laboratory and field for determination of engineering properties. Twenty-four select lab-based experiments are included on the various aspects of soil mechanics.
