compiled for experienced geotechnical professionals who require a
reference document to access key information. There is an extensive

database of correlations for different applications. The book should
provide a useful bridge between soil and rock mechanics theory and its
application to practical engineering solutions.
The initial chapters deal with the planning of the geotechnical

investigation and the classification of the soil and rock properties, after

which some of the more used testing is covered. Later chapters show
the reliability and correlations that are used to convert that data in the
interpretative and assessment phase of the project. The final chapters
apply some of these concepts to geotechnical design. The emphasis

throughout is on application to practice.
This book is intended primarily for practicing geotechnical engineers

working in investigation, assessment and design, but should provide a
and
useful supplement for postgraduate courses. It evolved from the need
to have a "go to" reference book which has both breadth and depth of
information to apply immediately to projects. To keep to a handbook
size one has to compress/restrict details to a few key bullet points – but
a comprehensive reference list provides the "appendix" for additional
information if required. This 2nd edition keeps to that format but
contains updated information and adjustments that take into account
