Advances in site characterization : data acquisition, data management, and data interpretation : proceedings of a symposium sponsored by the Committee on Engineering Geology and the Committee on Soil Properties of the Geotechnical Engineering Division of the American Society of Civil Engineers in conjunction with the ASCE Convention in Dallas, Texas, October 27-28, 1993 /

Accurate site characterization is one of the most important aspects of a successful geotechnical design. This volume provides a summary of current advances in data acquisition, management, and interpretation, as contributors describe specific cases of how progress in these areas has improved accurac...
