Product Description

Steve Hencher presents a broad and fresh view on the importance of engineering geology to civil engineering projects.

Practical Engineering Geology provides an introduction to the way that projects are managed, designed and constructed and the ways that the engineering geologist can contribute to cost-effective and safe project achievement. The need for a holistic view of geological materials, from soil to rock, and of geological history is emphasised. Chapters address key aspects of

Geology for engineering and ground modelling
Site investigation and testing of geological materials
Geotechnical parameters
Design of slopes, tunnels, foundations and other engineering structures
Identifying hazards
Avoiding unexpected ground conditions

The book is illustrated throughout with case examples and should prove useful to practising engineering geologists and geotechnical engineers and to MSc level students of engineering geology and other geotechnical subjects.

About the Author

Steve Hencher is a Director of consulting engineers Halcrow and Research Professor of Engineering Geology at the University of Leeds.

Looks set to be a classic 27 Jan 2012

By Mugen Geo

Format:Paperback

I hadn't been able to find any reviews when I bought it so thought it would be good to give some initial thoughts as it looks great.

Compliments other standard texts (Blythe & DeFreitas, Craig etc) without repeating the same material and has lots of international case studies that are useful (some interesting ones in Hong Kong). The diagrams and photos are good and the text seems relevant to 'real world' engineering issues without being a checklist. Looks like it will pay for itself very quickly.
