Soils Laboratory Manual

Soils Laboratory Manual

Soils Laboratory Manual

(OP)
Can anyone recommend a good, comprehensive manual that covers step by step procedures for soil laboratory testing?  I am looking for something that is based on ASTM procedures, but is written in normal english.

Thanks in advance!
