Overview
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.Synopsis
Gregory Tsinker brings his extensive knowledge of structural engineering and geotechnical design to his translation of George E. Lazebnik's work on soil-structure interaction. Monitoring of Soil-Structure Interaction is aimed at professional geotechnical and foundation engineers who deal with soil-foundation interaction, soil pressure distribution, or ground monitoring instruments. This book will incorporate original data and emphasize practical, mathematical models for measuring soil pressure on the foundations of a structure. Readers will be able to compare their calibrated measurements to the data presented in the book.

Incorporating original data and the results of hundreds of large- scale experiments conducted by the author, a senior scientist at the Research Institute for Investigation of Structures and head of the "Energoproect" state institute in Kiev, this volume focuses on the equipment and methods for developing, calibrating, and installing soil pressure measuring devices, as well as presenting significant experimental results. Lazebnik also addresses the results of some important investigations on soil-structure interaction carried out in the past 30 to 40 years in the republics of the former USSR, many of which are largely unknown outside the region.
