Engineering Geology, Softcover reprint of hardcover 1st ed. 2009 Principles and Practice

This text is directed at the heart of Engineering Geology where geology is used to identify potential problems arising from ground conditions. It describes how to investigate those conditions and to define an engineering response that will either avoid or reduce or even eliminate the problems revealed. The book presents the "big picture" that is so often lacking when only site details are available, but necessary for adequate engineering solutions.

Provides the reader with the basics of engineering geology

Illustrates how geology is related to calculations of stability, deformation and groundwater flow

Specifically written for those whose first degree is not in geotechnical engineering

Shows how to identify, investigate and define an engineering response to problems arising from ground conditions
