Description
Providing easy access to key information, this practical handbook of properties for soils and rock presents key issues concerning geotechnical investigations, assessments and designs in a concise tabular format. The book is bridge between soil and rock mechanics theory and its application to practical engineering solutions. The initial chapters deal with the planning of the geotechnical investigation, the classification of the soil and rock properties and the tests commonly carried out. Later chapters demonstrate the reliability and correlations used to convert data in the interpretative and assessment phase of the project. The final chapters apply some of these concepts to geotechnical design.
