Introduction to Earthworks and Road Construction
Introduction to Earthworks and Road Construction
(OP)
Hello guys,
Do you have any good bibliography to introduce the basic concepts of soil mechanics and specially earthworks and road engineering?
I'm a Geological Engineer (Portuguese) specialized in Geological Resources (oil & gas) and I've just started my career in a completely different direction my company is doing a national road in a rural zone in Mz.
Actually I'm in charge of a Geotechnical Lab in Mozambique (6 months already) and I've already got in touch with the most part of the lab test procedures and methods but I would like to learn a little bit more and to understand all the basics (think is very important to know why the things are done than just do it without understand).
Cheers,
DNA
