Engineering Properties of Soils and Rocks, Third Edition serves as a guide to the engineering properties and behavior of soils and rocks. The text also complements other texts on rock and soil mechanics. The book covers topics such as the properties and classification of soils such as tills and other kinds of soils related to cold climates, tropical soils, and organic soils such as peat. The text also includes the engineering behavior and properties, classification and description, discontinuities, and weathering of rocks and rock masses. The monograph is recommended for engineers who would like to know about the properties of soils and rocks and the application of their study in the field of engineering.
Engineering Properties of Soils and Rocks
This book presents a one-stop reference to the empirical correlations used extensively in geotechnical engineering.
During the geotechnical investigations, we used to encounter fine-grained soils at the surface frequently in the state of Andhra Pradesh. These fine-grained soils are usually silty clays of high compressibility (CH/MH-CH) or sometimes ...
This book presents a one-stop reference to the empirical correlations used extensively in geotechnical engineering.
Introductory technical guidance for civil engineers, geotechnical engineers and construction managers interested in engineering properties of soil and rock. Here is what is discussed: 1. SCOPE, 2. COMPACTION CHARACTERISTICS OF SOIL, 3.
This first volume of a specialty 2-volume work contains 34 papers pertaining to the natural behaviour of diverse geomaterials found in different parts of the world.
This document also includes information on: (1) the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Personal Data Assistance devices for the collection and interpretation of subsurface information; (2) quantitative measures for evaluating ...
The modelling tools for soils and rocks require more and more specific parameters not always available from the standard or usual survey campaigns, this generally for reasons of delay or costs.
Although theoretical in character, this book provides a useful source of information for those dealing with practical problems relating to rock and soil mechanics - a discipline which, in the view of the authors, attempts to apply the ...
