Foundations of Engineering Geology

Foundations of Engineering Geology Book By Tony Waltham

Civil engineering is an exciting combination of science,

art, professional skill and engineering achievement which

always has to rely on the ground on which its structures

stand. Geology is therefore vital to success in civil

engineering, and this book brings to the reader those

many aspects of the geological sciences specifically

relevant to the profession.

This book is structured primarily for the student of civil

engineering who starts with no knowledge of geology but

is required to understand the ground conditions

and geological processes which, both literally and

metaphori cally, are the foundations of his future

professional activities.
