His research interests include engineering properties of soils and rocks, tunneling engineering, and geohazard investigation and mitigation. He served as an Associate Editor of KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering from 2012 to 2014 and now serves as an Editorial Board Member of Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment. He is a Chartered Geologist (CGeol) of the Geological Society of London, and a Professional Member (MIMMM) of The Institute of Materials Minerals and Mining.
Summary
This book has the purpose of developing an understanding of the factors determining and influencing the shear behavior of soils, with emphasis on composite soils, as they are the most encountered materials in geological and geotechnical engineering in mountainous areas. This objective is reached by examining the soil compressibility, structure o
