Every site for civil engineering structures or work is unique; there will be differences between even adjoining sites, due to the underlying geologic structure and stratigraphy. Accordingly, planning and design of every civil engineering project must start with study of site and local geology. Throughout the book, a main and continuing theme is the vital importance of observation, during site investigations throughout the entire construction process, and in maintenance and regular inspection of completed facilities."
