New book "In Situ Tests in Geotechnical Engineering"
The book
For a long time, in situ geotechnical tests have suffered from a lack of credibility amongst academics who have always preferred laboratory tests, where test conditions are known and the optimalmeasures are controlled.
In this title, the author reinstates in situ geotechnical tests in the field of civil engineering by showing what they can do for our understanding of the mechanical quantities measured in the laboratory, but also by presenting their advantages in allowing research to go further in finding data that is inaccessible to laboratory tests.
This book is aimed at engineers as well as students and researchers of geotechnical topics. It provides the reader with useful information for carrying out optimal in situ tests to achieve a better adaptation of civil engineering works in relation to the ground.
