This book outlines the practice and theory of the five key tests used in site characterisation by Geomechanical and Environmental Engineers. These tests are: Standard Penetration Tests, Cone Penetration Tests, Vane Test, Pressuremeter Tests, Dilatometer Tests. This book is aimed at practising engineers although its practical angle will also appeal to Civil Engineering students in their 3rd and 4th years.
