Engineering properties of soils and rocks

摘要: The book gives a brief survey of the engineering properties major types soil and rock. It also shows how these vary according to their geological setting, for example, influence discontinuities weathering on performance rock masses, sorting, packing grain shape mineral composition in case deposits clay. Chapters are included on: classification, coarse grained soils, cohesive soils formed extreme climates, organic fills, behaviour classification weathered rocks rocks, subsurface water ground conditions. is derived part from "Foundation Engineering Difficult Ground" with some updating addition new material.
