Features: This textbook is compiled based on the curriculum design and teaching requirements of engineering geology and hydrogeology majors, geological engineering, and geotechnical engineering in water conservancy and electric power universities. The book is divided into three parts, totaling twelve chapters, with the main content as follows: Part I focuses on engineering geological research of geotechnical bodies, including the structure of geotechnical bodies, soft rocks and soft soils, and the engineering geological study of in-situ stresses; Part II covers engineering geological issues in water conservancy and electric power construction, including regional stability, dam foundations, slopes, the stability of surrounding rocks of underground chambers, karst and engineering geological issues in karst areas, and engineering geological issues related to surface water action; Part III discusses engineering geological investigation, including an introduction to engineering geological investigation, methods of engineering geological investigation, and engineering geological investigation for water conservancy and electric power projects. This book is suitable for students in engineering geology and hydrogeology majors, geological engineering, and geotechnical engineering in water conservancy and electric power universities. It can also serve as a reference textbook for the same majors in civil engineering, architecture, mining and metallurgy, geology, coal, and transportation universities, as well as for engineering technicians in surveying, design, and construction departments.
