Africa is one of the only extensive remaining areas on earth where large-scale primary infrastructure still has to be developed. Hence geotechnical engineering has a particular value in Africa - but it is often a particular kind of geotechnical engineering, the geotechnics of the wide-open spaces, the arid and semi-arid climates, the pioneering ventures, the new transportation corridors, dams, mines, mass housing for the people, etc.
This volume contains a wealth of information on the soils of Africa and their geotechnical problems, which are often climate-related. It will prove invaluable to the geotechnical engineer operating or intending to operate in Africa.
