Manual of soil laboratory testing. Volume 3, Effective stress tests /

This 3rd volume completes the long-established key handbook for the laboratory testing of soils. The text covers soil testing in terms of effective stress, for which the measurement of pore water pressure is the essential feature. The principle and theory of effective stress are explained, practical...
