Soil Mechanics for Engineering Geologists

By Laurence Daniel Wesley

BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN GEOLOGY AND SOIL MECHANICS Soil mechanics focuses on the properties of soils, particularly clay. Geology, in contrast, deals mainly with rocks. This presents a challenge for engineering geologists, who often work on civil engineering projects where clay dominates. Their limited understanding of soil mechanics can hinder their effectiveness. This book bridges the gap by providing a clear and accessible introduction to soil mechanics specifically designed for geologists. Using straightforward language and well-drawn diagrams, it demystifies complex concepts and equips geologists with the knowledge they need to excel in their field.
