Soil science and engineering geology. Tutorial (+ CD)

The start of geological knowledge in the amount of information on general and field geology is given. The main sections of engineering geology as part of the primer, engineering geodynamics, engineering surveys and regional engineering geology are considered. The general object of the study of the primer and soil science is substantiated - soil, and the foundations of genetic soil studies and soil typing in Russia are considered. The characteristic of the composition, states and properties of various soils, including soils as multiphase systems. The conditions for the occurrence and movement of groundwater are considered and the role of groundwater is determined when developing the territories and the construction of various buildings and structures. The concept of engineering and geological conditions is formulated and the patterns of their formation in the regions of the country are considered. A systematic description of soils in various regions of Russia is provided. It emphasizes the inseparable connection of engineering geology and soil science with issues of rational use and environmental protection.

It is intended for students of building and topogeodesic faculties and universities, students studying on bachelor and master"s programs, listeners of institutions of advanced training and engineering and technical workers of survey, design and construction organizations specializing in engineering and geological, engineering-geotechnical, engineering Geodesic surveys and cadastral land valuation
