- W2891763417 abstract "Abstract This chapter is a discussion of geotechnical engineering in the forensic area. Geotechnical engineering is a specialty of civil engineering concerned with rock and soil and their behavior as materials of construction. Knowledge from the fields of geology, materials science, testing, mechanics, and hydraulics is applied by engineers to safely and economically design foundations, retaining walls, dams, and highways. When there are environmental concerns, studies of groundwater and waste disposal bring biology and chemistry into the case. Cases in geotechnical engineering are most often the result of the variability and properties of soil. The boundary conditions of a model for soil are often not well defined. The material properties and behavior of soil are also difficult to predict because of the horizontal and vertical variability of soil and the result of a necessarily limited engineering investigation. Soil mechanics, the study of the behavior of soil, is complex because of stress-dependent material properties such as volume change, stress–strain relationship, and strength. Changes in moisture content can have a profound effect on soil behavior. This chapter presents a summary of the technology followed by case studies that illustrate the work and problems of a forensic geotechnical engineer. Much of that work involves explaining and commenting on prima facie cases." @default.
