Description
Specifications
The Engineering Geology refers to the applications of geology in the context of the study, construction, and operation of engineering works and the resolution of environmental issues. This book is the first of two volumes in the series Engineering Geology and Geology of Engineering Projects and thoroughly covers all topics related to the physical and mechanical behavior of soil and rock geological formations.
Initially, the fundamental theoretical principles that delineate the specific physical and mechanical properties of soils and rocks are analyzed, and then the sampling techniques as well as the methodologies for laboratory and field investigation are described, as they are specified internationally within the framework of geotechnical studies for the requirements of various engineering projects.
The following chapters are included in detail:
- Physical and mechanical characteristics of soil formations
- Physical and mechanical characteristics of rock material
- Mechanical description of discontinuities in rock formations
- Sampling boreholes for geotechnical investigations
- Laboratory tests of soil formations
- Laboratory tests of rock formations
- In situ geotechnical tests
The above chapters also include:
- Comprehensive Greek and foreign bibliography
- Characteristic application examples
- Completed 40 forms and diagrams of laboratory tests
- 162 figures, 93 tables, and 82 photographs.
This is a modern scientific book that its holder will constantly use since it contains concentrated and easily accessible information. Special emphasis is placed on the experience and knowledge gained in recent years regarding the complex structure and unique engineering-geological behavior of the geological formations of the Greek territory.
The book is aimed at all those who are interested or indirectly related to the field of Engineering Geology, namely undergraduate and postgraduate students of all related fields as well as professional engineers, etc.
