This seasoned textbook introduces geology for civil engineering students. It covers minerals and rocks, superficial deposits and the distribution of rocks at or below the surface. It then looks at groundwater and gives guidance on the exploration of a site before looking at the civil engineering implications of rocks and the main geological factors which affect typical engineering projects.
"...a very readable, well organized and illustrated textbook. The additions and amendments in the second edition...will enhance the book's reputation." - British Geologist
