RIES & WATSON— 



Engineering Qeology 



By Heinrich Ries, Ph.D., Professor of Economic Geology in Cornell University, and Thomas L. 

 Watson, Ph.D., Professor of Economic Geology in the University of Virginia, and State Geologist of 

 Virginia. 



As far as known this is the only book published which treats geology from the engineering point 

 of view. 



The authors have carefully selected their material including the important topics which have to 

 be considered in connection with the study of this subject. 



The character of the common rocks in their use for building stone and road material; the structure 

 of rocks in relation to tunneling operations, dam and reservoir foundations, land slides, etc., have 

 been included. 



Throughout the book the practical application of the topics treated to engineering work have 

 been emphasized.
