Engineering Geology is a comprehensive book written by William Henry Penning and first published in 1880. It covers the principles and practices of geology as applied to civil engineering projects. The book is divided into two parts: the first part deals with the general principles of geology, including the structure and composition of the earth's crust, the formation of rocks, and the processes that shape the earth's surface. The second part focuses on the practical applications of geology in engineering, such as the investigation and evaluation of building sites, the design of foundations and retaining walls, and the assessment of geological hazards such as landslides and earthquakes. The book is written in a clear and concise style and includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the concepts presented. It is a valuable resource for geologists, civil engineers, and anyone interested in the relationship between geology and engineering.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
