John Hughes, Robert Whittle

High Resolution Pressuremeters and Geotechnical Engineering (eBook, ePUB)

The Measurement of Small Things

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book on in situ soil testing devices focuses on pressuremeters with internal transducers that allow measurement of strength, stiffness and in-situ reference stress. It outlines principles, basic technology, and good practice, with case studies, and some comparison with other devices and tests.
