Geotechnical and Foundation Engineering
About this book
The book "Geotechnical and Foundation Engineering" is all about understanding soil and how it affects building strong foundations. It has eight chapters that cover everything from the basics to more advanced topics. It's a helpful guide for students and professionals in civil engineering. It starts with explaining what geotechnical and foundation engineering are, then moves on to talk about different types of soil and how we classify them. Later chapters focus on investigating soil and sites to make sure construction is safe and stable.
