Handbook of geotechnical investigation and design tables / Справочник по таблицам инженерно-геологических исследований и проектирования

There has been very positive feedback from practicing engineers, who need a “go to’’ book, and who have suggested various additions. This encouragement now results in this 2nd edition which uses the similar format of summary data tables and expands the book with additional tables as well as some corrections and additional notes to the tables of the 1st edition.
This book is is principally a data book for the practicing Geotechnical Engineer and Engineering Geologist, which covers:
• The planning of the site investigation.
• The classification of soil and rock.
• Common testing and the associated variability.
• The strength and deformation properties associated with the test results.
• The engineering assessment of these geotechnical parameters for both soil and rock.
• Applications of data and theory in geotechnical design
This data is presented by a series of tables and correlations to be used by experienced geotechnical professionals. These tables are supplemented by dot points (notes style) explanations. The reader must consult the references provided for the full explanations of applicability and to derive a better understanding of the concepts. The complexities of the ground cannot be over-simplified, and while this data book is intended to be a reference to obtain and interpret essential geotechnical data and design, it should not be used without an understanding of the fundamental concepts. This book does not provide details on fundamental soil and rock mechanics theories as this information can be sourced from elsewhere <...<
