Geotechnical Interpretations in Field Practice: An Introduction provides the latest on field test results and theoretical knowledge, interpretation and engineering judgement and how this data is essential for proper planning and execution of ground investigations. Maximum subsurface information can be extracted with lesser budget if proper interpretation is made. In other words, no amount of site investigation is adequate without proper interpretation and application of engineering judgement. With this in consideration in mind, this book presents a special focus on the importance of interpretation and engineering judgment in geotechnical projects.

The Author is currently working as an Associate Professor in Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology, Nagpur which is recognized as an institute of National Importance by the Govt of India. He has completed his PhD in Geotechnical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay in 2009 and he has over 13 years of experience in teaching, research and consultancy. He was involved as a geotechnical engineer during the subsurface exploration for the expansion of SSR International Airport in Mauritius. This investigation was one of the special cases in geotechnical engineering which includes the exploration of volcanic voids and subsurface cavities. Further, he has gained sufficient experience in geotechnical investigations because of his involvement in various consultancy jobs as well as research projects. Recently in 2019, Dr. Patel has authored a book entitled “Geotechnical Investigations and Improvement of Ground Condition, published by Elsevier in 2019. The author has guided 04 PhD and 22 MTech students, and currently some more students are working for their Master's and PhD degree under his supervision. He has got 3 patents and has about 50 technical papers published in different journals of national and international repute.
