Reclamation Managing Water in the West : Guidelines for Performing Foundation Investigations for Miscellaneous Structures

Michael Szygielski and Jeffrey Farrar of the Earth Sciences and Research Laboratory, Technical Service Center, Denver, Colorado wrote this manual. Numerous sources of information were used, including sources from the Bureau of Reclamation and authoritative geotechnical engineering text books. Allen Kiene and Robert Davis of the Geotechnical Services Group performed a technical review of this manual, along with Richard Fuerst and Stephen Robertson of the Water Conveyance Group. The editor was Lelon A. Lewis. We hope that this document will be useful to all area offices, construction offices, regional geology and engineering offices, and geologists and geotechnical engineers in the Bureau of Reclamation, as well as geotechnical engineers worldwide.
