Extracting Information from
Grain Size Distribution Curves
by Robert Chapuis
“This book by Robert Chapuis provides new information
and new insights to recent knowledge for predicting K,
the hydraulic conductivity of a soil. . . ”
— from the foreword by International Society of Hydrogeonomy
(ISH) and Robert P Chapuis
“[it] . . . is intended for persons already experienced
in soil mechanics, geotechnical engineering,
groundwater engineering or groundwater science, but
it should also be useful to all consultants involved in groundwater and environmental
issues.”
