About this document
Engineering Geology: Soil and Processes by André Oliveira is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document provides an overview of engineering geology and how different geologic processes affect near-surface soils. It discusses how soils can be transported by water or wind to be deposited as sediments. It also describes how weathering and residual soils are formed from the breakdown of parent rocks in place. Volcanic and glacial processes are also briefly covered as they influence soil formation. The key role of understanding site geology prior to subsurface investigations and foundation design is
