The
manual is written for general engineering geology use as
well as to meet Reclamation needs. The application of
geology to solving engineering problems is emphasized,
rather than academic or other aspects of geology. The
manual provides guidance for:
• Geologic classification and description of rock and
rock discontinuities
• Engineering classification and description of soil
and surficial deposits
• Application of standard indexes, descriptors, and
terminology
• Geologic mapping, sampling, testing, and
performing discontinuity surveys
• Exploratory drilling
• Soil and rock logging
• Acquisition of groundwater data
• Core logging
• Soil logging
• Investigation of hazardous waste sites
modification or expansion of
the suggestions, criteria, and indices to fit specific
requirements.
Many of the chapters in this manual will always need
revision because they cover material that changes as
technology changes. Critical comments, especially suggestions
for improvement, are welcome from all users,
not just the Bureau of Reclamation.
The appendix contains abbreviations and acronyms
commonly used in engineering geology.
