This is intended to be a reference manual for Geotechnical Engineers. It is principally a
 data book for the practicing Geotechnical Engineer and Engineering Geologist, which
 covers:

• The planning of the site investigation.
 • The classification of soil and rock.
 • Common testing, and the associated variability.
 • The strength and deformation properties associated with the test results.
 • The engineering assessment of these geotechnical parameters for both soil and
 rock.

• The application in geotechnical design for:
 – Terrain assessment and slopes
 – Earthworks and its specifications
 – Subgrades and pavements
 – Drainage and erosion
 – Geotextiles
 – Retention systems
 – Soil and rock foundations
 – Tunnels
 – Movements
