This text is directed at the heart of Engineering Geology where geology is used to identify potential problems arising from ground conditions. It describes how to investigate those conditions and to define an engineering response that will either avoid or reduce or even eliminate the problems revealed. The book presents the "big picture" that is so often lacking when only site details are available, but necessary for adequate engineering solutions.

1. The Basis of Engineering Geology;- 2. Geological Materials;- 3. Geological Masses;- 4. Maps;- 5. Recovery of Samples;- 6. Field Tests and Measurements;- 7.
