Engineering Geology refers to the applications of geology in the context of the study, construction, and operation of engineering works and the solving of environmental problems. This book is the first of two volumes in the series Engineering Geology and Geology of Engineering Works, and it 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 individual physical and mechanical properties of soils and rocks are analyzed, followed by a description of sampling techniques and the methodologies for laboratory and in-situ investigation, as these are internationally prescribed within 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 materials
- 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:
- Complete Greek and foreign bibliography
- Characteristic examples of application
- 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 use continually as it contains concentrated and user-friendly information. Special emphasis is placed on the experience and knowledge gained in recent years regarding the composite structure and unique engineering-geological behavior of the geological formations in the Greek territory.
The book is aimed at all those interested or indirectly related to the subject of Engineering Geology, including undergraduate and postgraduate students of all related fields, as well as professional geologists, engineers, etc.
