A thorough understanding of geology is vital in the look and building of infrastructures for transportation, buildings and mining procedures;

Geological Engineering has an interpretation of the geological placing, integrating geological circumstances into engineering style and construction, and engineering solutions that consider both ground circumstances and environment.

This textbook, extensively illustrated with functioning examples and an abundance of graphics, addresses the subject region of geological engineering in four sections:

• Fundamentals: soil mechanics, rock mechanics and hydrogeology
• Strategies: site investigations, rock mass characterization and engineering geological mapping
• Applications: foundations, slope balance, tunnelling, dams and reservoirs and earth functions
• Geohazards: landslides, additional mass motions, earthquake hazards and avoidance and mitigation of geological hazards

In addition to being truly a textbook for graduate and postgraduate learners and academics, Geological Engineering acts as a simple reference for practicing engineering geologists and geological and geotechnical engineers, along with civil and mining engineers coping with design and building of foundations, earth functions and excavations for infrastructures, buildings, and mining functions. while a knowledge of geology can be crucial for those employed in urban, territorial and environmental preparing and in the avoidance and mitigation of geohazards.
