Features: The purpose of this book is to provide engineers and technicians with a comprehensive understanding of the entire process of geotechnical work in levee construction, enabling them to grasp the key aspects with just one reference. Therefore, this book serves as an excellent reference for geotechnical professionals in practical engineering, while also offering guidance and reference value for college students and related technical personnel. Levee construction is both ancient and young. It is ancient because levee construction has a history spanning hundreds, even thousands, of years. It is young because only in recent decades have people begun to conduct specialized research on its exploration, design, and construction, and to date, no systematic summary has been provided. This book is a systematic summary of geotechnical exploration in levee construction, built upon the extensive work of predecessors and incorporating recent research findings and a wealth of engineering practices. The book covers topics such as an overview of levees, exploration methods for levees, general geotechnical conditions of levees, major geotechnical issues of levees and their analytical methods, measures for handling emergencies and hidden dangers in levees and their foundations, levee construction, and testing and monitoring technologies for levees.
