Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
In addition to field test results and theoretical knowledge, interpretation and engineering judgement on the available factual data is essential for proper planning and execution of ground investigation. Maximum subsurface information can be extracted with lesser budget if proper interpretation is made. In other words, no amount of site investigation is adequate without proper interpretation and application of engineering judgement. With this in consideration in mind, this book provides special focus to the importance of interpretation and engineering judgement in geotechnical projects. Places an emphasis on the role of site interpretation and the application of engineering judgement Discusses project personnel and how they have to understood ground conditions to respond accordingly Includes real-life examples that will be of great help for all those involved in the planning and execution of geotechnical projects

Modern Geotechnical Design Codes of Practice
Author: Patrick ArnoldPublisher: IOS Press
ISBN: 1614991626

Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
The ground is one of the most highly variable of engineering materials. It is therefore not surprising that geotechnical designs depend on local site conditions and local engineering experience. Engineering practices, relating to investigation and design methods site understanding and to safety levels acceptable to society, will therefore vary between different regions.The challenge in geotechnical engineering is to make use of worldwide geotechnical experience, established over many years, to aid in the development and harmonization of geotechnical design codes. Given the significant uncertainties involved, empiricism and engineering
Land Surface Evaluation for Engineering Practice
Author: Dr. James S. GriffithsPublisher: Geological Society of London
ISBN: 9781862390843
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
This volume presents a collection of papers on techniques and case studies in land surface evaluation for engineering practice written by specialist practitioners in the field. The volume arose out of deliberations by the Second Working Party on Land Surface Evaluation set up by the engineering group of the Geological Society in January 1997 and chaired by Dr J.S. Griffiths. The book provides examples of cost-effective methods for collecting land surface and near surface data prior to carrying further detailed ground investigations of engineering sites.
