About the Book
Geotechnical Engineering Investigation Handbook, Second Edition
Roy E. Hunt, Practicing Geotechnical Engineer, Brictown, New Jersey,
USA||Practicing Geotechnical Engineer, Bricktown, New Jersey, USA
The Geotechnical Engineering Investigation Handbook provides the tools
necessary for fusing geological characterization and investigation with
critical analysis for obtaining engineering design criteria. The second edition
updates this pioneering reference for the 21st century, including
developments that have occurred in the twenty years since the first edition
was published, such as:
The Geotechnical Engineering Investigation Handbook, Second Edition is a
comprehensive guide to a complete investigation: study to predict geologic
conditions; test-boring procedures; various geophysical methods and when
each is appropriate; various methods to determine engineering properties
of materials, both laboratory-based and in situ; and formulating design
criteria based on the results of the analysis. The author relies on his 50+
years of professional experience, emphasizing identification and description
of the elements of the geologic environment, the data required for analysis
and design of the engineering works, and procuring the data.
By using a practical approach to problem solving, this book helps engineers
consider geological phenomena in terms of the degree of their hazard and
the potential risk of their occurrence.
