civil

The content of the book is extremely useful for civil and foundation engineers involved in the design and construction of foundation structures. The construction problems discussed in the examples are very relevant and helpful to the design engineers. The illustrations given in this book are fairly easy to understand which enable me to relate them to the similar geotechnical problems faced in the construction industry in my country.I may recommend the book to be one of the referenced text book for my masters degree student.

I sincerely feel that this is a very good book as far as foundation design and construction practice are concern.

He tenido este texto como guia de mis cursos de cimentaciones en la universidad Nacional de Colombia y mis alumnos tienen en el el mejor texto guia sobre el tema .Lo utilizo desde 1994 y no le he encontrado sustituto

A well written text that introduces concept of foundation analysis and design. It is also a good review of basic soil mechanics. This text provides many worked out examples and supporting diagrams. I have enjoyed using this book in my studies. I have found some typo's here and there, but overall I have found the text to be worth the money.
