Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a dissection of engineering geology, the intersection between geology and engineering applications. Engineering geology studies the influence of geology on engineering works such as infrastructure and drainage, as well as the implications for obtaining materials from the earth. The author explores how an understanding of geology aids the engineer in grasping the topography, structure, and resources of a particular area. Beyond this, the book examines how various rocks are formed and transformed, and the implications this has for extracting building stones and clays. There is an emphasis on common errors and misconceptions that arise from a lack of geological knowledge. The author provides a detailed guide to conducting field examinations and laboratory testing of stone, which aids both in selecting the appropriate material and in predicting how it will stand up to the stresses of construction and exposure to the elements. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
