Geotechnical Investigation Methods: A Field Guide for Geotechnical Engineers

About this episode

Details the essential procedures for analyzing geologic environments. It focuses on surface mapping, subsurface exploration, and the measurement of material properties to identify potential construction hazards like landslides or unstable soil. The text emphasizes the use of remote-sensing imagery, such as satellite data and aerial photography, alongside topographic maps to conduct thorough terrain analysis. Additionally, it outlines various field instrumentation techniques used to monitor ground movements and stresses during engineering projects. By providing a framework for geologic reconnaissance, the guide helps engineers select appropriate sampling methods and testing protocols for site development. The material serves as a comprehensive reference for determining groundwater conditions and the mechanical characteristics of soil and rock strata.
