TÃtulo : Unsaturated Soil Mechanics in Geotechnical Practice Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Blight, G. E. Editorial: Taylor & Francis Group Fecha de publicación: 2013 Número de páginas: xxxiv, 600 p. : Il.: ill., maps. Palabras clave: Soils Testing. Soil moisture Measurement. Soils Plastic properties. Zone of aeration. Clasificación: 624.1/5136 Resumen: "Soil will, either seasonally or occasionally, pass from the unsaturated to the saturated state and even from unsaturation to dryness. The theory of unsaturated soils is dealt with, including its application to natural undisturbed soils and compacted soils. Application of the theory to soil-like materials such as mine waste and municipal solid waste is also covered. Application of the theory to practice is illustrated by a number of detailed case histories. Unsaturated soil mechanics principles can also successfully and usefully be applied in related fields such as the bulk storage of particulate materials, underground mine support, solution mining and concrete structures"-- Enlace de acceso : https://elibro-net.biblioproxy.umanizales.edu.co/es/lc/umanizales/titulos/142854 Unsaturated Soil Mechanics in Geotechnical Practice [documento electrónico] / Blight, G.
