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 0.075mm, 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 systems (both Unified Soil Classification System and AASHTO), and also includes applications concerning soil compaction and field applications, hydraulic conductivity and seepage, soil compressibility and field application, and shear strength and field application--$cSource other than Library of Congress. 606 $aSoil mechanics 606 $aSoil physics 606 $aSoil mechanics$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01124463 606 $aSoil physics$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01124537 615 0$aSoil mechanics. 615 0$aSoil physics. 615 7$aSoil mechanics. 615 7$aSoil physics. 676 $a624.1/5136 700 $aKaliakin$b Victor N.$0517780 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910583049603321 996 $aSoil mechanics$92894047 997 $aUNINA
