Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Explains the factors which determine and control the engineering properties of soils--particularly volume change, deformation, strength and permeability. New to this edition: expanded coverage of residual and tropical soils, environmental aspects of soil behavior, material on partly saturated soils, revised treatment of direct or coupled hydraulic, chemical, thermal and electrical flows through soil.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 407-425) and indexes.
Introduction -- Bonding, crystal structure and surface characteristics -- Soil mineralogy -- Soil formation and soil deposits -- Determination of soil composition -- Soil water -- Clay-water electrolyte system -- Soil fabric and its measurement -- Effective, intergranular and total stress -- Soil composition and engineering properties -- Soil structure - its formation, stability and relationships to properties -- Conduction phenomena -- Volume change behavior -- Strength and deformation behavior.
