Geology applied to engineering / Геология в инженерном деле

Geology Applied to Engineering, Second Edition, represents a significant and insightful update of the first edition. Abdul Shakoor, Emeritus Professor, Kent State University, Ohio, has joined Terry West, Professor, Purdue University, Indiana, in the revision of the first edition. Together, they:
• Effectively and strategically reorganized the arrangement of chapters so that they are cohesive and build on material that is germane to related subjects.
• Added a new chapter that is solely dedicated to the evaluation of construction materials (Chapter 9).
• Expanded the coverage and scope of important topics such as the engineering properties of rocks (Chapter 8), slope stability and ground subsidence (Chapter 15), and significant fields in engineering geology, such as highways, dams, tunnels, and rock blasting (Chapter 21). <...>
