Yet, as the book emphasises, “\u003cem\u003eproblematic soils do not conform to the ideal soil used in classical soil mechanics theories\u003c\/em\u003e,” requiring approaches that extend far beyond standard design codes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eEngineering of Problematic Soils: Problematic Engineering Soils\u003c\/em\u003e explains how soils form, are transported and deposited, and how geological, climatic and anthropogenic processes shape their engineering behaviour. It examines organic, expansive, collapsible, residual, glacial and anthropogenic soils showing why their heterogeneity, metastability and sensitivity challenge investigation, sampling and modelling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnvironmental and human induced changes, from climate driven extremes to construction activity and groundwater changes, are shown to alter stresses and saturation, often triggering geotechnical hazards.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA strategic framework sets out multi stage investigation, robust ground modelling and risk based, numerically informed design to create safe, resilient and sustainable geotechnical infrastructure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57507705553269,"sku":"9781807912635","price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/engineering-of-problematic-soils-volume-2","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
