"Every structure that touches the ground could benefit from the skills of a
geotechnical
engineer. Readers will discover how these engineers study rocks, soil, natural processes, and potential hazards to help make the safest, strongest foundations possible. This book introduces key concepts and the
engineering
design process with interesting examples from the field. A hands-on activity and a design challenge engage readers in
engineering
action."--From publisher.
