Engineering Geology and Construction is an in-depth study of the influence of geology on construction. It is the only book to concentrate on this relationship, providing comprehensive, well-referenced and up-to-date information.

Highlights the effects of past mining and provides information on the types of problems it may cause in both urban and rural areas. This book shows how sites already affected by mining problems and hazards maybe remediated and rehabilitated. It covers surface mining, disposal of waste, problems resulting from mine closure and mineral processing.

Presents a state-of-the art survey for students on civil engineering and physical geography courses, as well as researchers and practising civil engineers. This volume examines methods of assessing, evaluating and combatting hazards, both natural and man-made.
