  • 1.  Geotechnical Report and soil reports

    Posted 09-05-2023 10:19 AM

    As a Civil Engineer specializing in Stormwater solution and design, I am seeking recommendations for books or training courses that enhance my understanding of geotechnical reports and boring logs, particular in relation to water table analysis, seasonal ground water identification, and soils characteristic based on the information provided in the logs. Any recommendation would be appreciated.

    1. Principles of Geotechnical Engineering" by Das and Sobhan offers comprehensive insight into geotechnical reports, including water table analysis and soil characteristics.

    2. Consider "Geotechnical Engineering: Principles & Practices" by Coduto, Yeung, and Kitch for a practical guide on interpreting boring logs and seasonal groundwater identification.

    3. Enroll in the online course "Geotechnical Engineering Fundamentals" on platforms like Coursera or edX to deepen your knowledge in these areas.

    Thank you so much for your recommendations. I already have the Coduto textbook from college, which has been quite useful. Your guidance in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

    "Geotechnical Materials in Construction" by Marian & Ramond Rollings is a good reference covering many topics.

    Thank you so much for this recommendation! I have already placed an order, and I must say the price is very reasonable.
