The study of the solid part of the earth on which structures are to be built is an essential part of the training of a civil engineer. Geotechnical processes such as drilling, pumping and injection techniques enhance the viability of many construction processes by improving ground conditions. "Introduction to Geotechnical Processes" will cover the elements of ground treatment and improvement, from the control of groundwater, drilling and grouting to ground anchors and electro-chemical hardening. The ground investigation necessary for the process, the likely improvement in strength of treated ground, and testing methods will also be highlighted. This book provides a readable and highly illustrated overview of the main facets of geotechnical processes. Each topic is presented as a double page spread with a careful mix of text, tables and diagrams. It covers every topic of interest to graduate and post-graduate civil engineering students in this field as well as being relevant to engineeringgeologists and practising engineers.
Industry Reviews
'...delivers what it promises...will certainly appeal to students wishing to grasp the main principles and applications... the reader who absorbs the knowledge transmitted within the pages of this slim volume will be well prepared for dealing in a practical way with problematic ground encountered on site.' Mike Rosenbaum Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology 'An absolutely first class book, in content and style.' -- Lecturer, Edge Hill University
