Summary:"Elton presents 35 serious but entertaining experiments for budding scientists and engineering students that teach the fundamentals of soil mechanics and illustrate the dynamics of how soils behave and how they can be manipulated."--Provided by publisher
Includes bibliographical references (p.187) and index
