Earth Science for Civil and Environmental Engineers – PDF

Earth Science for Civil and Environmental Engineers (PDF) introduces engineering college students to the basic rules of utilized Earth science, emphasizing how fashionable soil and rock mechanics, hydrogeology, geomorphology, seismology, and environmental geochemistry have an effect on geotechnical and environmental observe. Main geological matters of engineering relevance together with soils and sediments, groundwater, rocks, and geologic hazards are offered in an accessible and partaking means. An in depth vary of worldwide case research add actual-world context and present sensible purposes in subject and laboratory settings to information web site characterization. End-of-chapter issues are included for self-research and analysis, and accompanying on-line supplies embody further examples, digital figures, solutions, and steering on helpful software program. Including an in depth glossary introducing key terminology, this ebook requires no former geological coaching and is crucial studying for senior undergraduate or graduate college students in geological, civil, geotechnical, and geoenvironmental engineering. It can be a useful reference and bridge for Earth science graduates embarking on engineering geology programs. 978-0521847254, 978-1108569194, 978-1108615815

Reviews

‘Jackson has offered a complete overview of Earth science with all kinds of case research to point out the significance of incorporating a sound understanding of geologic processes and properties in engineering design. I count on that this ebook will likely be a useful reference not only for the audience of civil engineers but in addition for geologists planning jobs in utilized environmental geoscience.’ — Jean M. Bahr, University of Wisconsin ‘This is a strong, complete, effectively-written, and partaking treatise which brings geology to geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineers in a simple vogue, proven with wonderful case research and sensible examples. A should-have reference particularly for early practitioners in each geology and engineering, and useful instructing help for senior undergraduate and graduate lessons in geotechnical engineering, environmental engineering, hydrogeology, and environmental geology.’ — Kent S. Novakowski, Queen’s University, Ontario NOTE: The product only consists of the ebook Earth Science for Civil and Environmental Engineers in PDF. No access codes are included.
