Features: The book is divided into three parts and fourteen chapters. Part I covers technical methods of geotechnical engineering investigation, including: basic technical requirements for geotechnical engineering investigation, engineering geological mapping, exploration and sampling, in-situ testing of soil, in-situ testing of rock, on-site inspection and monitoring, and compilation of investigation results. Part II focuses on building site evaluation and investigation, including: sloping terrain, debris flow sites, karst terrain, and strong earthquake zones. Part III addresses geotechnical engineering investigation for various types of construction, including: building structures and constructions, underground chambers, roads and bridges. Under the new context of China's educational reform and adjustment of professional settings, the field of civil engineering has experienced rapid development. However, as one of the core professional courses, "Geotechnical Engineering Investigation" still lacks a formally published textbook. Based on the authors' extensive experience in teaching and scientific research, this book systematically and comprehensively introduces the fundamental theories, basic knowledge, and engineering applications of geotechnical investigation, while also reflecting the latest research achievements and technical methods in the field. The book features a well-structured system, rich content, clear explanations, and strong practicality. It can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students in civil engineering, geological engineering, construction engineering, environmental engineering, and related fields. Additionally, it is also valuable for faculty and students at higher education institutions, as well as professionals and engineers working in related fields.
