a field guide for geotechnical engineers
1 online resource (323 pages) : illustrations, maps
Geologic hazards pose the greatest threat to human safety for any geotechnical undertaking, but it is ultimately the engineer's ability to recognize and cope with these hazards that will determine the safety of life and property. Armed with Geologic Hazards: A Field Guide for Geotechnical Engineers you will be able to properly recognize, understand various geologic hazards, and provide safe and economical construction. Eminent expert Roy E. Hunt thoroughly examines the potential for slope failures, earthquakes, ground subsidence, collapse, and expansion.
Landslides and other slope failures -- Slope failure form characteristics -- Assessment of slopes -- Treatment of slopes -- Ground subsidence, collapse, and heave -- Groundwater and oil extraction -- Subsurface mining -- Solution of rock -- Soil subsidence and collapse -- Heave in soil and rock -- Earthquakes -- Earthquake elements -- Surface effects on the geologic environment -- Earthquake-resistant design -- Investigation : important structures in high-hazard areas -- Appendix : the Earth and geologic history -- Significance to the engineer -- The Earth -- Global tectonics -- Geologic history.
