Without a doubt, this book retains all the qualities of the first edition: clearly presented and illustrated theory, constant links to practical applications, and numerous concrete examples drawn from civil engineering practice in Quebec.
So what's new? All laboratory and field tests have been updated to ensure compliance with the latest standards of the Bureau de normalisation du Québec (BNQ), approved by the Standards Council of Canada and, in cases where there is no Quebec equivalent, with ASTM standards. And since a picture is worth a thousand words, numerous photos enrich this new edition!
An indispensable tool for students and anyone already working in the field!
