INSTRUCTIONS FOR DOWNLOADING THE pdf VERSION OF THE 'MANUAL FOR WEDGE SHEAR TESTING OF SOILS'

 
 
NOTE. But for some minor corrections , the pdf version of the manual is identical with the printed 2003 version, in which reference is often made to separate data sheets , and two computer programs , sample data files, and the output files on a diskette "in the pocket inside the back cover."  Please follow these steps to access the information listed.  For an overview of the three different versions of the wedge shear test, please click here .

   (1) Download the data files (with an extension 'txt' instead of 'dat' used in the manual, to avoid distortion in some browsers) by clicking on the following file names, listed in the order they are referred to in Boxes 4.1 to 4.3 (pp. 87 to 92) of the manual , and save with the extension 'dat'.
 

    (2) Download the two programs by clicking the following.

     


    (3) Disregarding the data check, but otherwise following step (4) of section 4.5, page 85 of the manual , run the program IWPW77 for the files with names starting with DIW and DPW, and the program CYLWEE88 for the remaining files to obtain the output files, with the same file names but with the extension 'out'. For minor recent modifications to the programs and the data files, click here . 

    (4) The data sheets, in the same format as the input files for the relevant computer program, can be downloaded separately for photocopying by clicking on the following.
     


     (5) To access the pdf version of the manual, click here . (To access p. 158 of the pdf version, please go to p. 157; the following page, which, in spite of all efforts to correct it, has insisted in marking itself as p. 151, is the true p.158.)
