Soil Mechanics Laboratory Manual

by Braja M. Das

Now in its sixth edition, Soil Mechanics Laboratory Manual is designed for the junior-level soil mechanics/geotechnical engineering laboratory course in civil engineering programs. It includes eighteen laboratory procedures that cover the essential properties of soils and their behavior under stress and strain, as well as explanations, procedures, sample calculations, and completed and blank data sheets. Written by Braja M. Das, respected author of market-leading texts in geotechnical and foundation engineering, this unique manual provides a detailed discussion of standard soil classification systems used by the AASHTO Classification System and the Unified Soil Classification System, which both conform to recent ASTM specifications.

To improve ease and accessibility of use, this new edition includes not only the stand-alone version of the Soil Mechanics Laboratory Test software but also ready-made Microsoft Excel® templates designed to perform the same calculations. With the convenience of point and click data entry, these interactive programs can be used to collect, organize, and evaluate data for each of the book's eighteen labs. The resulting tables can be printed with their corresponding graphs, creating easily generated reports that display and analyze data obtained from the manual's laboratory tests.

Dear,....
Harusnya ni buku dibaca sebelum ikut praktikum Mekanika Tanah,
sayangnya keberadaannya baru terdeteksi pas mau minta tanda tangan sertifikat.

Konyol abis, sy dtugasin translate nih buku.
Apa mau dikata, biar hati dongkol abis tetep mesti dikerjain, demi dpt tanda tangan beliau.
Apalagi ngasih tugasnya beberapa hari sebelum backpacking. huhh.
Kali berikutnya, klo kasih tugas jgn yg transletan lagi dong pak/bu.

Sincerely,

dinidorr/ Dxxx09xxx
