Handbook of Geotechnical Investigation and Design Tables

Burt G Look

4.9/5 (24103 ratings)

Description:This practical handbook of properties for soils and rock contains in a concise tabular format the key issues relevant to geotechnical investigations, assessments and designs in common practice. There are brief notes on the application of the tables. These data tables are compiled for experienced geotechnical professionals who require a reference document to access key information. There is an extensive database of correlations for different applications. The book should provide a useful bridge between soil and rock mechanics theory and its application to practical engineering solutions.The initial chapters deal with the planning of the geotechnical investigation, the classification of the soil and rock properties and some of the more used testing is then covered. Later chapters show the reliability and correlations that are used to convert that data in the interpretative and assessment phase of the project. The final chapters apply some of these concepts to geotechnical design. The emphasis throughout is on application to practice.This book is intended primarily for practicing geotechnical engineers working in investigation, assessment and design, but should provide a useful supplement for postgraduate courses. It evolved from the need to have a "go to" reference book which has both breadth and depth of information to apply immediately to projects. This was not possible, and to keep to a handbook size one has to compromise details to a few key dot points but a comprehensive reference list provides the "appendix" for additional information if required. This 2nd edition keeps to that format but with updated information and adjustment from feedback since first published. "We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging. And by having access to our ebooks online or by storing it on your computer, you have convenient answers with Handbook of Geotechnical Investigation and Design Tables. To get started finding Handbook of Geotechnical Investigation and Design Tables, you are right to find our website which has a comprehensive collection of manuals listed.
