I have been asked to do a soils investigation for a proposed 20 acre-feet capacity retention basin. Maximum embankment height is 15 feet. They also want me to provide specs for materials and construction techniques. I know the native soils are MH elastic SILT.

Any tips? Any good books to recommend?
