Features: This book is a textbook for geotechnical engineering and in-situ testing courses in civil engineering at universities. It provides a detailed introduction to the latest in-situ testing technologies in geotechnical engineering both domestically and internationally, including static load tests, cone penetration tests, vane shear tests, dynamic cone penetration tests, standard penetration tests, pressuremeter tests, flat dilatometer tests, field direct shear tests, wave velocity tests, in-situ stress tests of rock masses, and vibroprobe tests. It elaborates on the basic principles, instruments and equipment, testing methods, technical key points, data organization and analysis, and engineering applications of these various in-situ testing techniques. Review questions are compiled at the end of each chapter. In addition to serving as a textbook for relevant university majors, this book can also be referenced by engineering technicians in various fields of civil engineering, including exploration, design, testing, and construction.
