This book on in situ soil testing devices focuses on pressuremeters with internal transducers that allow measurement of strength, stiffness and in-situ reference stress. It outlines principles, basic technology, and good practice, with case studies, and some comparison with other devices and tests.

Presents some of the models that form a part of the typical undergraduate geotechnical curriculum and describes some of the aspects of soil behaviour which contribute to the challenge of geotechnical modelling. This book is suitable for students of geotechnical and structural and civil engineering.

This book draws on theoretical work, modelling and full-scale practical testing to give sound guidance in the design and assessment of drystone retaining walls. It shows how to design new or replacement drystone retaining walls that are efficient, sustainable, attractive, and in keeping with the character of the area where they are built, and de
