The Geotechnical Design and Application Manual includes all the material covered on a geotechnical engineering module in a construction-related diploma or degree course. In addition to covering site investigation, engineering geology, soils and rocks, groundwater; foundations; earth pressures and retaining walls, slope stability and ground improvement, the book also covers Eurocode 7 on geotechnical design. By detailing both British Standard design methods and those employing the Eurocode 7 will ensure you understand the transition between the codes. The accessible, easy-to-follow, approach to mathematical concepts is ideal if you are less confident in this area. *Explains geotechnical engineering clearly in one textbook, including Eurocode 7, eliminating the need for separate references *Expresses mathematical aspects simply using worked examples, for greater understanding by students on less mathematical construction-related courses *Free online teaching material available, saving the lecturer time on preparing course material.
