Product Description: This book is written to explain the influence ground conditions can
have upon engineering with rocks and soils, and upon designing,
analysing and executing an engineered response to the geological and
geomorphological processes acting on them; these subjects form the
essence of Engineering Geology. The text is written for students of the
subject, either geologists or engineers, who encounter the challenge of
idealising the ground and its processes for the purposes of design and
of quantifying them for the purpose of analysis. With this in mind the
book describes how geology can dictate the design of ground
investigations, influence the interpretation of its findings, and be
incorporated into design and analysis. The reader is constantly
reminded of basic geology; the "simple" things that constitute the "big
picture", a neglect of which may cause design and analyses to be at
fault, and construction not to function as it should.
