Features: This book integrates various geotechnical engineering (major geotechnical) in civil engineering, based on current construction standards, absorbing advanced research achievements and engineering experience from various industries in geotechnical engineering. It is divided into two volumes, comprehensively elaborating on the methods, requirements, and experience of geotechnical engineering investigation and design for various types of geotechnical engineering.
Volume 1 is divided into 5 parts and 54 chapters. It includes fundamental knowledge of geotechnical engineering investigation, geotechnical engineering investigation for various civil engineering projects, engineering investigation and evaluation of special geotechnical, environmental geotechnical engineering investigation and evaluation, engineering analysis, and results reports.
Volume 2 is divided into 19 chapters. It includes basic principles of geotechnical engineering design, shallow foundations, pile foundations, dynamic foundations, ground improvement, dewatering, foundation pit support, subway and light rail, railway subgrades, highway subgrades, design for collapsible loess and expansive soil foundations, slope and slope stabilization, landslide, collapse, and rockfall prevention, karst foundation and surface subsidence prevention, goaf prevention, waste disposal, underground engineering, bridge and culvert engineering, and foundation reinforcement and underpinning of existing buildings. This book combines the achievements of various types of civil engineering, technical standards from different industries, and engineering experience from various regions. It is concise, practical, reliable, advanced, and instructive; the content is rich and the data is complete.
This book serves as an excellent reference for engineering technicians engaged in geotechnical engineering investigation, design, construction, testing, supervision, and consulting. Certain sections are also used as study materials for those preparing for the examination for registered civil engineer (geotechnical). It can also be used as a reference for university and college teachers and students.
