As branch of civil engineering, Principles of Geotechnical engineering entitles to analyze the geological impact of such construction or building location by investigating sub-surface conditions and related material so physical and chemical properties of rocks or soils can be determined in order to obtain helpful information and detailed data for designing construction particularly in urban environment. Yes, as site engineers, it is important to know the right principles of geotechnical engineering to build foundation for various sizes and types of structures and earthworks.
If you are practicing and surveying engineers or geotechnical engineering students, Principles of Geotechnical Engineering book can be excellent reference to take principles and practices of investigation to collect physical information of surface and sub surface exploration with right methods and techniques geologic mapping, geophysical methods, and photogrammetry.
The author of Principles of Geotechnical Engineering book also includes the basic theories of soil properties with huge amount of worked examples and mathematical formula, examples and graphs, so we can examine properties of the soil in-situ by doing standard and cone penetration test in laboratory with proper soil sampling. This reference is highly recommended to support your study in the subject of geotechnical engineering.
