Features: This book systematically introduces the basic principles, testing instruments, and methods of geotechnical tests and in-situ tests. It mainly includes physical property tests of soil, boundary water content tests, particle size analysis tests, permeability tests, compaction tests, consolidation tests, shear strength tests, coefficient of lateral earth pressure (Ko) tests, rheological tests, dynamic tests, unsaturated soil tests, load tests, vane shear tests, cone penetration tests, standard penetration tests, static cone penetration tests, pressuremeter tests, blade penetration tests, field permeability tests, and wave velocity tests. Detailed operational steps are provided for each test. This book can serve as a laboratory teaching material for civil engineering, geotechnical engineering, geological engineering, and other related disciplines in higher education institutions. It is also a valuable reference for technical personnel engaged in geotechnical engineering design, investigation, and testing.
