Characteristics of Geologic Materials and Formations: A Field Guide for Geotechnical Engineers

"Characteristics of Geologic Materials and Formations: A Field Guide for Geotechnical Engineers"
by Roy E. Hunt, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC | 2007 | ISBN: 1420042769 | 400 pages | PDF | 19 Mb

With clear, concise, and hands-on guidance, this book describes these rock and soil types in terms of their origin, mode of occurrence, and structural features in situ and presents the typical characteristics that are of engineering significance.
Properly understanding and characterizing geologic materials and formations is vital for making critical engineering decisions. Identifying and classifying rock masses and soil formations allows reasonable estimation of their characteristic properties. Comprising chapters from the second edition of the revered Geotechnical Engineering Investigation Handbook, Characteristics of Geologic Materials and Formations provides a basis for recognizing, identifying, and classifying the various rock and soil types.
This book also explains the elements that affect surface and subsurface water engineering in terms of controlling floods, erosion, subsurface flow, and seepage, as well as for water conservation. Supplying important correlations used to estimate engineering and geologic properties, the book presents correlations for intact rock, rock masses, and soil formations throughout the chapters and condenses this information into a convenient summary table in an appendix. Eliminate the need to search through narrow volumes or large handbooks with Characteristics of Geologic Materials and Formations: A Field Guide for Geotechnical Engineers, a convenient and complete guide to the techniques you need.

This book provides the basis for the recognition, identification, and classification of the various soil and rock types; describes them in terms of their origin, mode of occurrence, and structural features in situ; and presents the typical characteristics that are of engineering significance. This book also provides the basis for recognizing the elements of that are of surface and subsurface water engineering significance for the selection of methods of controlling flooding, erosion, subsurface flow, and seepage forces; and for environmental conservation with regard to water.
