Foundations of Engineering Geology
Abstrak
This is an undergraduate level text, for students requiring an understanding of ground conditions and geological processes. Each subject is covered by notes, diagrams, tables and case histories presented in short sections. It covers: ground materials and structures (igneous rocks, surface processes, sedimentary rocks, metamorphic rocks, geological structures); regional characteristics (plate tectonics, boundary hazards, rocks of Britain, rocks of the USA); surface processes and materials (weathering and soils, floodplains and alluvium, glacial deposits, climatic variants, coastal processes, groundwater); ground investigations (site investigation, SI desk study, geological map interpretation); material properties (rock strength, soil strength, stone and aggregate); and difficult ground conditions (subsidence, slope failure, landslides, slope stabilization, rock excavation, tunnels in rock).
