Overview

The study of the solid part of the earth on which structures are to be built is an essential part of the training of a civil engineer. Without an in-depth understanding of rock properties, formation processes, and weathering characteristics, it is impossible to build safely and with confidence: no amount of elegant superstructure design will help if the foundations collapse into a limestone cavern or old mine working. This book provides a readable and highly illustrated overview of the main facets of geotechnical engineering. Each topic is presented as a double-page spread with a careful mix of text, tables and diagrams. Foundations of Geotechnical Engineering Covers the entire spectrum of topics of interest to both student and practitioner. Key references are listed to direct the reader to further reading.
