A useful book

I was a TA for Soil-Lab while I was not even a geotechnical graduate student. This book has lots of details (sometimes overwhelmingly) and undergrad students may have difficulties to find basic steps toward some tests. In addition, I couldn't find data sheet files to print them out for students' use and I had to carbon-copy the pages from the book. All in all, it is a professional book, not just an educational over-simplified textbook.
