Infos

ICE Handbook of Ground Investigation is a comprehensive practical guide, presented in two volumes, that covers the range of techniques used in conducting thorough and effective ground investigations. It provides comprehensive and up-to-date guidance on the latest technologies, methods and procedures available to establish the properties of the ground which, ultimately, will be needed for design. Through the use of clear information and quick-reference tables to support decision-making, it simplifies the process and demonstrates that any site scenario can be addressed methodically. The examples of best practice will also facilitate compliance with current British Standards and Eurocodes.Geotechnical field activities and laboratory testing focusses on both site and laboratory based techniques used to determine the geotechnical characteristics of the ground. This includes intrusive methods of investigation, sampling, instrumentation and monitoring, together with field and laboratory testing.Coverage includesintrusive methods of investigationgeotechnical samplingdown-hole geophysicsinstrumentation and monitoringfield testinggeotechnical laboratory testing.The book is aimed at anyone who may be involved in procuring, designing, carrying out or supervising ground investigations, as well as those analysing the data produced. This includes practicing geotechnical engineers and engineering geologists, structural and environmental engineers, students and clients.
