Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
Focusing on learning how to solve real-world problems, this practical introduction to engineering geology covers such standard topics as stress, the stability of rock slopes, groundwater flow, and seismology. Requires knowledge of pre-calc math only.Provides theory, worked-out examples, and ample end-of-chapter problem sets to aid readers in their understanding and mastery of the material. Examines a full range of topics, including the bulk density, porosity, and subsidence of rock; sound wave surveying principles; and the law of radioactive. Uses 'pure' SI units, displays virtually all steps in a calculation, and presents dimensionally correct equations throughout. Alerts readers to such ambiguous engineering terms as 'flow', and 'load' with an icon warning flag signaling that the meaning must be inferred from context or the units in which it is used.For those preparing for licensing exams in engineering geology, civil engineering, or environmental engineering.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good cursory overview of mathimatics of engineering geology,
By A Customer
This review is from: Computational Engineering Geology (Paperback)
This book provides a decent brief review of classical engineering geology, including tunneling, soil and rock mechanics, hill slope stability, and channel and groundwater flow. This book is good as a set of practice problems sets. Although fundementals are covered thoroughly, no in depth analysis of the topics is provided. Good as an introduction to mathimatics of engineering geology.
1.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointed,
By A Customer
This review is from: Computational Engineering Geology (Paperback)
I was not happy with this book at all. I found the text and drawings sophmoric. The problems were mainly algebraic exersizes rather than engineering problems. This is a book for highschoolers at best.
4.0 out of 5 stars
I want to have solutions of problems in this book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Computational Engineering Geology (Paperback)
This is not a review on this book. This book will be selected for textbook in my lecture(subject: engineering geology). Therefore I want to get a book including solutions of problems because this book does not have solutions but only answers. My address is following Dr. Gyo-Cheol Jeong Dept. Earth and Environmental Sciences Andong National University Andong 760-749, Seoul, Korea
