This book deals principally with fine-grained clays and silts, or soils containing coarser sand and gravel particles but with a significant percentage of fines. The study of unsaturated soil is a practical subject, linking fundamental science to nature. Soils in general are inherently variable and their behaviour is not easy to analyse or predict, and unsaturated soils raise the complexity to a hi 606 $aSoil mechanics 606 $aZone of aeration 615 0$aSoil mechanics. 615 0$aZone of aeration. 676 $a624.1/5136 700 $aMurray$b E.
