Steve Hencher presents a broad and fresh view on the importance
of engineering geology to civil engineering projects.
Practical Engineering Geology provides an introduction to the
way that projects are managed, designed and constructed and the
ways that the engineering geologist can contribute to
cost-effective and safe project achievement. The need for a
holistic view of geological materials, from soil to rock, and of
geological history is emphasised. Chapters address key aspects
of
- Geology for engineering and ground modelling
- Site investigation and testing of geological materials
- Geotechnical parameters
- Design of slopes, tunnels, foundations and other engineering
structures
- Identifying hazards
- Avoiding unexpected ground conditions
The book is illustrated throughout with case examples and should
prove useful to practising engineering geologists and geotechnical
engineers and to MSc level students of engineering geology and
other geotechnical subjects.
