About the Book
Geotechnical Investigation Methods: A Field Guide for Geotechnical
Engineers
Roy E. Hunt, Practicing Geotechnical Engineer, Brictown, New Jersey,
USA||Practicing Geotechnical Engineer, Bricktown, New Jersey, USA
The investigation phase is the most important segment of any geotechnical
study. Using the correct methods and properly interpreting the results are
critical to a successful investigation. Comprising chapters from the second
edition of the revered Geotechnical Engineering Investigation Handbook,
Geotechnical Investigation Methods offers clear, concise, and hands-on
guidance for choosing and executing a variety of field investigations.
This practical guide provides an affordable alternative to larger handbooks
and condenses the essential elements of a geotechnical investigation into
an easily digestible and readily accessible format. Renowned expert Roy E.
Hunt discusses preliminary study to predict geologic conditions, applying
information from geologic and topographic maps as well as remotely
sensed imagery, proper test boring procedures, the various geophysical
methods and when each is appropriate, and a variety of methods for
determining materials' engineering properties in the lab and in situ. Hunt
also covers field instrumentation for surface movements, subsurface
deformations, and in situ pressures and stresses, as well as instrument
arrays for typical problems such as structure settlement and fault
movements.
Eliminate the need to search through narrow volumes or large handbooks
with Geotechnical Investigation Methods: A Field Guide for Geotechnical
Engineers, a convenient and complete guide to the techniques you need.
