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.
