Soils in Construction, 5th Edition. Este artículo no está disponible.Soils in Construction, 5th Edition

For introductory courses in Soils and Foundations or Soil Mechanics in civil engineering technology or construction technology and architecture departments.

Designed for those students who will probably not be taking further courses in soil mechanics and foundations, this text uses only simple mathematics and emphasizes applications to explore the nature of soils and how they can influence certain construction operations. A comprehensive appendix of laboratory testing exercises provides hands-on practice of basic principles and procedures.

"The best feature of this textbook is its focus on construction applications. This textbook does a good job of balancing the engineering principles with the construction processes in the study of soils." - Greg Ohrn, Northern Arizona University "The strength of the text is that it presents technical material in a very understandable way to students who are more oriented towards non-technical, more managerial subjects." - Constantine A. Ciesieiski, East Carolina University
