Monitoring of Soil-Structure Interaction Instruments for Measuring of Soil Pressures

This concise and authoritative work describes the equipment, methods and techniques used for measurement of soil pressure for monitoring soil-structure interaction. It is based on results of hundreds of large-scale tests and field experiments that have been conducted by Dr. Lazebnik and his colleagues in the past 30 to 40 years. The book incorporates original data and emphasizes a practical approach to developing, calibrating, and installing soil pressure measuring devices for monitoring soil-structure interaction. It offers numerous practical examples where these devices of miscellaneous designs can be used. This book is an indispensable source of information to those involved with manufacturing of soil pressure measuring instruments, investigation of soil-structure interaction phenomenon, professional geotechnical, foundation and civil engineers, and post-graduate students for their advanced studies of the subject of soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering.
