Thus, soil found below the ground at any construction site is different from soil located at another site--even an adjacent site. Geotechnical site characterization methods are utilized to evaluate the properties of natural subsurface deposits, over which any structure is supported. Proper site characterization requires an understanding of various field and laboratory investigation methods. The book discusses the suitability of various methods under different site conditions and the procedures for interpreting test results to derive design parameters. Recent developments regarding specialized site characterization techniques (such as geophysical methods) and techniques suitable for specific purposes (such as seismic hazard evaluation) are also included. Three recent case histories are included, where site characterization played a key role. The three disparate cases provide a broad coverage between them, including soft natural soil under static loading, coarse and fine-grained soil under seismic impact, and hazardous waste deposits under both static and seismic loading. Site investigation requirements of building codes are discussed and guidelines for preparing a typical site characterization report are presented. A final section addresses various ethical issues that are unique to the practice of site characterization. The book is aimed at the practicing geotechnical engineer, as well as advanced undergraduate and graduate students. 000842009 588__ $$aTitle from PDF title page (viewed on March 17, 2016). 000842009 650_0 $$aGeotechnical engineering. 000842009 650_0 $$aGeophysical surveys. 000842009 653__ $$aboring log 000842009 653__ $$aCPT 000842009 653__ $$ageophysical investigation 000842009 653__ $$aGPR 000842009 653__ $$aliquefaction analyses 000842009 653__ $$arock sampling 000842009 653__ $$aSASW 000842009 653__ $$aseismic site characterization 000842009 653__ $$asite characterization 000842009 653__ $$asite characterization report 000842009 653__ $$asite investigation 000842009 653__ $$asoil boring 000842009 653__ $$asoil laboratory testing 000842009 653__ $$aSPT 000842009 653__ $$asubsurface profile 000842009 655_4 $$aLibros electronicos. 000842009 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9781606505328 000842009 830_0 $$aGeotechnical engineering collection.$$x2376-4953 000842009 852__ $$bebk 000842009 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=4432250$$zOnline Access 000842009 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:842009$$pGLOBAL_SET 000842009 980__ $$aEBOOK 000842009 980__ $$aBIB 000842009 982__ $$aEbook 000842009 983__ $$aOnline
