It provides comprehensive and up-to-date guidance on the latest technologies, methods and procedures available to establish the properties of the ground which, ultimately, will be needed for design. Through the use of clear information and quick-reference tables to support decision-making, it simplifies the process and demonstrates that any site scenario can be addressed methodically. The examples of best practice will also facilitate compliance with current British Standards and Eurocodes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGeotechnical field activities and laboratory testing\u003c\/em\u003e focusses on both site and laboratory based techniques used to determine the geotechnical characteristics of the ground.
