Geotechnical Engineering of Embankment Dams

The three authors of this volume (Fell, Patrick MacGregor, and David Stapledon) each have more than 25 years experience in geotechnical aspects of site selection, design, construction, and surveillance of dams in Australia, Asia, and the Pacific combined in recent years with applied research and academic activities. The result is a text with a blend of theory and practice, suitable for practitioners in civil and geotechnical engineering, and in engineering geology, and for graduate and undergraduate students.
