Notă biografică
Steve Hencher is now Emeritus Professor at Leeds and Honorary Professor in the Department of Earth Sciences at Hong Kong University. He is also Director of Hencher Associates Limited where he acts as technical advisor and expert witness on various geotechnical matters. More information is at www.hencherassociates.com
He is a geologist by first degree and earned his PhD from Imperial College, London on the shear strength of rock joints under dynamic loading. He then joined Sir W S Atkins & Partners where he was one of only nine, yes nine geotechnical employees servicing what, even then, were the largest consultants in Europe. Atkins gave him wide experience in a very short term. This included the opportunity to investigate the ground for and supervise the construction and installation of piles at Drax Power Station, which gave a sharp insight into how large civil engineering projects work. Since then, he has worked with the Hong Kong Government for 5 years where he investigated major landslides, worked on shear strength of rock, and first became involved in mapping and describing thick weathered profiles. Other major experience includes being part of the Bechtel design team for the High-Speed Rail in Korea, working specifically on the design of very large span tunnels and underground stations. He taught the MSc in Engineering Geology at Leeds University full time from 1984 to 1996 and supervised a large number of research students. Since 1997 he has headed geotechnics in the Hong Kong office of Halcrow and was Regional Director of the Korean office for 7 years. He has worked on various national and international committees in geotechnical engineering, in particular, on weathered rocks, piling, landslides, rock slopes and rock mass characterisation. He has acted and continues to act as an expert advisor and expert witness in numerous legal cases, including aspects of foundation design and construction, tunnelling, landslides, and site formation.

Descriere
This book introduces the way projects are managed, designed, and constructed, and how the engineering geologist can contribute to cost-effective and safe project achievement. Now with a new chapter on environmental issues covering hydrogeology, climate change, and more, and several new case studies of unexpected ground conditions.
Recenzii
"… Hencher has penned a book on his experiences that provides insights for students, young professionals and seasoned pros working in engineering geology…The excellent book provides practical solutions and example methodologies to address engineering geology challenges which are worthwhile for those practicing in the field. This book is highly recommended for practicing engineering geologists in America who would like to learn about the geoengineering challenges found in other parts of the world and the innovative solutions offered."
—The Professional Geologist, 2014
"This book meets its stated aims and should be required reading for aspiring young engineering geologists, or their seniors, to help make them aware of their roles and responsibilities. It would do no harm for this book to be read also by geotechnical engineers who need to be clear about the geologist’s role in the project team."
—Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology
"The perspective, depth, and detail contained in Hencher’s Practical Engineering Geology make it highly desirable for all practicing engineering geologists and geotechnical engineers to have in their libraries. …. a must have volume. … Hencher’s book has plenty of content for all serious engineering geologists and geotechnical engineers."
–– Environmental & Engineering Geoscience
"Each chapter contains straightforward didactic boxes that focus either on a case in point, good working practices or key terms of relevance to each topic."
