Features: This book is one of the "National Higher Vocational and Technical Water Conservancy and Hydropower Excellent Planning Textbooks." Its depth and difficulty are designed and written according to the teaching characteristics and professional needs of higher vocational and technical education. The book is divided into 11 chapters. Chapters 1 to 5 cover some basic knowledge of rocks, geological structures, natural geological processes, groundwater, and general geological issues in water conservancy projects, with a focus on explaining the impact of engineering geological conditions on water conservancy project construction and general geological issues in water conservancy projects. Chapters 6 to 11 discuss the basic knowledge of soil mechanics, including the physical properties of soil, soil permeability, stress in soil and foundation deformation calculations, soil shear strength and foundation bearing capacity, and earth pressure. On this basis, the book elaborates on the principles and methods of foundation treatment for water conservancy projects. This book can be used as a vocational textbook for students majoring in water conservancy and hydropower technology and water conservancy project management in higher vocational colleges, and it can also serve as a reference for technical personnel engaged in water conservancy and hydropower engineering and water conservancy project management.
