Geotechnical Interpretations in Field Practice: An Introduction provides the latest on field test results and theoretical knowledge, interpretation and engineering judgement and how this data is essential for proper planning and execution of ground investigations. Maximum subsurface information can be extracted with lesser budget if proper interpretation is made. In other words, no amount of site investigation is adequate without proper interpretation and application of engineering judgement. With this in consideration in mind, this book presents a special focus on the importance of interpretation and engineering judgment in geotechnical projects.
