Laboratory Tests for Unsaturated Soils 1st Edition

Grab the go-to laboratory guide for modern unsaturated soil testing: Laboratory Tests for Unsaturated Soils, 1st Edition by Eng-Choon Leong and Martin Wijaya. This concise, practical volume puts clear, field-tested laboratory procedures and interpretation techniques at the fingertips of engineers, researchers, and advanced students working in geotechnical engineering and soil mechanics.

Dive into carefully explained test methods for measuring soil suction, moisture retention, hydraulic conductivity, and shear behavior under unsaturated conditions. Each chapter balances theoretical background with step-by-step laboratory protocols, instrumentation considerations, and tips for minimizing common sources of error. The authors emphasize reproducible data reduction and meaningful reporting so results can confidently inform slope stability, foundation design, pavement performance, and drainage solutions.

Whether you work on urban infrastructure in the Asia-Pacific, seasonal-moisture projects in tropical and subtropical climates, or arid-region developments worldwide, this book is tailored to contemporary challenges in unsaturated soil characterization. Its clear illustrations and practical focus make complex concepts accessible, helping practitioners translate lab data into robust design decisions and research outcomes.

Ideal for geotechnical consultants, laboratory technicians, graduate students, and academics, this edition bridges classroom theory and real-world application. If your projects require reliable unsaturated soil testing guidance—across regions and climates—this title is an essential reference.
