This is the third volume of three that provides a comprehensive working manual for the laboratory testing of soils for civil engineering purposes.
It covers soil testing in terms of effective stress, for which the measurement of pore water pressure is the essential feature.
It is a key practical guide for those engaged in laboratory testing of soils as well as to professional engineers, consultants, academics and students in geotechnical engineering.
'...provides a very useful introduction for geoscientists to the concept of effective stress and the theory of triaxial testing. The descriptions are clear, the chapters are very well organized, and the illustrations are superb. This splendid manual belongs in every university library patronized by geoscientists and engineers.' Environmental & Engineering Geoscience
