This comprehensive book brings together essential geotechnical knowledge and its applications to a host of common environmental problems and engineering tasks, from on-site hazardous waste remediation and groundwater pollution control to land-fills and waste containment. Coverage includes useful background on the basics of environmental regulations, geophysical and geochemical fundamentals, soil properties, and groundwater hydrology.Geoenvironmental Engineering covers the application of basic geological and hydrological science, including soil and rock mechanics and groundwater hydrology, to any number of different environmental problems. _ Includes end-of-chapter summaries, design examples and worked-out numerical problems, and problem questions. _ Offers thorough coverage of the role of geotechnical engineering in a wide variety of environmental issues. _ Addresses such issues as remediation of in-situ hazardous waste, the monitoring and control of groundwater pollution, and the creation and management of landfills and other above-ground and in-situ waste containment systems.
HARI SHARMA, PhD, PE, GE, is a Principal with GeoSyntec Consultants specializing in geoenvironmental and geotechnical engineering.
