Earthworks - Theory to Practice - Design and Construction (Hardcover)

derived from "Earthworks" course notes compiled over 10 years of presenting the course for practicing civil engineers, site inspectors and project managers. written by a practicing engineer of 40 years intended for practising engineers involved in earthworks projects should also provide a useful supplement to postgraduate courses. a case study approach is adopted to examine everyday design and construction earthworks practises where the application of theory in its purest form was not self-evident. extensively illustrated with graphics and summary tables to simplify issues for the practicing engineer. aims to connect earthworks theory with practice by providing examples of inconsistencies that occur on a regular basis.
