Features: This book is a planned teaching material for the "11th Five-Year Plan" of general higher education. The book is divided into four parts. The first part is Engineering Geology Basics, which includes geological processes and geological eras, rocks and their engineering geological characteristics, geological structures and their impact on engineering, topography and landforms, groundwater and its impact on construction projects, and harmful geological phenomena that are detrimental to engineering. The second part is Engineering Geological Characteristics of Foundation Soils, which includes the engineering properties of soil and field identification, and the engineering geological characteristics of soil. The third part is Analysis of Engineering Geological Problems, which includes the main engineering geological problems encountered in engineering activities and the analysis of engineering geological problems for different types of projects. The fourth part is Geotechnical Engineering Investigation, which includes the requirements, methods, and content of geotechnical engineering investigation, as well as the organization, analysis, and use of geotechnical engineering investigation data. This book can be used as a teaching material for civil engineering majors in higher education institutions, and is also suitable for majors such as water conservancy engineering, port engineering, and road engineering. Additionally, it can serve as a reference for geotechnical engineering and hydrogeological professionals, as well as for a broad range of civil engineering design and research personnel.
