GSLIB is the name of a directory containing the geostatistical software developed at Stanford. Generations of graduate students have contributed to

this constantly changing collection of programs, ideas, and utilities. Some of the :nost widely used public-domain geostatistical software [58, 62, 721 and many more in-house programs were initiated from GSLIB. It was decided to open the GSLIB directory to a wide audience, providing the source code to seed new developments, custom-made application tools, and, it is hoped, new theoretical advances <...>

This Geoguide presents a recommended standard of good practice for the civil engineering aspects of rock cavern applications in Hong Kong. It will also serve as a reference document for non-specialists involved in the administration of cavern projects.

The purpose of this guide is to provide a concise resource for the application of the CPT to geotechnical engineering practice. This guide is a supplement and update to the book ‘CPT in Geotechnical Practice’ by Lunne, Robertson and Powell (1997). This guide is applicable primarily to data obtained using a standard electronic cone with a 60-degree apex angle and either a diameter of 35.7 mm or 43.7 mm (10 or 15 cm2 cross-sectional area).

The purpose of this Geoguide is to present a recommended standard of good practice for the description of Hong Kong rocks and soils for engineering purposes. It is a companion document to Geoguide 2 : Guide to Site Investigation (GCO, 1987a). This Geoguide is aimed primarily at the practising civil or geotechnical engineer, but is also intended for use by geologists, engineering geologists and other professionals working inthe earth sciences. It has been prepared on the assumption that the user may not have any specialist knowledge of descriptive systems or methods.
