[.uk] Soil Properties: Testing, Measurement, and Evaluation ... (ISBN 0130930059)

What do I do with the information?:
I bought this book because it was the required lab manual for a Soils Testing Class at the University I attend. The authors went into great detail in describing each lab and all the equipment used to perform the tests. However, as a student I would have hoped to know how to decipher the results of the test to come up with a useable solution to apply to real life construction applications. For example, if I find during a test that my soil is non plastic, how can I find out what kind of foundation to use to build a structure on the soil? I feel like the chapters should have gone at least one step further in their explanations.

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.
