This reference will be the first book focused entirely on the unique engineering properties of residual soil. Given the predominance of residual soils in the under-developed parts of the United States and the Southern Hemisphere, and the increasing rate of new construction in these regions, the understanding of residual soils is expected to increase in importance in the coming years. This book will be written for the practicing geotechnical engineer working to any degree with residual soils. It will describe the unique properties of residual soil and provide innovative design techniques for building on it safely. The author will draw on his 30 years of practical experience as a practicing geotechnical engineer, imbuing the work with real world examples and practice problems influenced by his work in South America and Southeast Asia"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aResidual materials (Geology) 606 $aEngineering geology 615 0$aResidual materials (Geology) 615 0$aEngineering geology. 676 $a624.1/51 700 $aWesley$b Laurence D$0522008 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910208846403321 996 $aGeotechnical engineering in residual soils$9835098 997 $aUNINA
