Groundwater in Civil Engineering: Developments in Geotechnical Engineering 35
The book is based on the fundamentals of geotechnics and hydrology, but chapters about hydraulics, hydrogeology, pedology, hydrochemistry, meteorology and mathematical statistics are also included. The author has attempted to arrange the terminology and methodology of this many-sided field of engineering into a uniform system.
In Part One, theoretical and methodological problems (classification and characteristics of groundwater, water household in the top layer, the development of capillary fringes, rules of flow and groundwater regime) are dealt with. Mathematical-primarily probabilistic-methods are also discussed.
Part Two present methods of obtaining solutions to practical problems (foundations, dewatering of working pits, dewatering of subsurface spaces, protection against frost and corrosion). Through numerous examples and statistical relationships, the author demonstrates that there are considerable temporal changes in the groundwater level. As a basic idea, the recognition prevails that by utilizing data obtained from soil-mechanical exploration, hydrological prognoses can be made faster and more reliably.
