About this product
Product Information
This updated second edition is a comprehensive guide to collecting samples, performing laboratory analysis or in situ characterization, and formulating design criteria based on the results of the analysis. The author relies on his 40 years of professional experience, emphasizing identification and description of the elements of the geologic environment, the data required for analysis and design of the engineering works, the physical and engineering properties of geologic materials, and procuring the data. By using a practical approach to problem solving, the book helps engineers consider geological phenomena in terms of the degree of their hazard and the potential risk of their occurrence.

Reviews
"...manages to touch upon almost all major areas of work encountered by today's geotechnical engineer, covering investigation methods for both regional and site-specific assessments." --Stuart Mills, Materials World , Vol. 14, No. 9, September 2006 "Whoever reads this book will never approach geotechnical exploration in the same way again. Nowhere else has it been made so evident that all boundaries among engineering geology, geophysics, rock mechanics, soil mechanics, geohydrology, seismology, and a host of other disciplines are meaningless; that contributions to the solution of geotechnical problems may come from any or all of these sources; or that the practitioner who holds too narrowly to a specialty is likely to overlook knowledge that could be of the greatest benefit to him in reaching a proper judgment. If for no other reason than to appreciate the breadth of geotechnics and to escape from the trap of too narrow a perspective, this book should be read." --Dr. Ralph B. Peck, from the Foreword to the First Edition "This is pure gold in 'nuts and bolts' of the profession. Hunt's title and prefatory materials proclaim that this is a book written primarily for geotechnical engineers, yet any astute engineering geologist will not only understand its content and impact, but will also be able to 'read between the line' and learn more of the perspective of each topic. ...The book content will be highly valuable throughout a project, from planning through conduct, during daily review of incoming field results, and during evaluation and interpretation. ...To paraphrase the American Express Company, 'Don't leave home without Hunt's book!" --Allen W. Hatheway, Environmental & Engineering Geoscience, Vol. 12, No. 1, Feb. 2006
