Summary
Details

""Elements of Engineering Geology,"" originally published in 1921, offers a comprehensive overview of the geological principles relevant to civil engineering and construction. Authored by Heinrich Ries and Thomas L. Watson, this foundational text explores the influence of geological formations and materials on engineering projects.

The book covers topics such as rock types, soil mechanics, and the impact of geological structures on the stability and durability of infrastructure. It serves as an invaluable resource for engineers, geologists, and students seeking a deeper understanding of the intersection between geology and engineering practice. Its historical context provides insights into the development of engineering geology as a distinct field of study.
