[from the book of the back cover]
Product Review Summary: Very good reference, surprisingly a cheap one! The only text book that cost me only ten bucks (hardcover)! However it contains all the information I needed.
Product Review Summary: Buen libro para estudiantes de Maestria El libro es una buena referencia para una persona que esta haciendo una maestria en ingenieria civil.
Product Review Summary: Lacks explanation This book appears to be useful, but in reality, it isn't. The formulas are given without stating their inherent assumptions and limitations. Somewhere in the book the author states: "for an overconsolidated clay, cohesion is greater than zero; for a normally consolidated clay, it is zero." No further explanation.
This is a "cookbook" type of text, perfectly suited for today's mediocrity infested mentality: grind thru a formula and produce some numbers, fast. To that end, it's a great book. My sincere recommendation to the author: double the size of the book, and turn it into an insightful, meaningful, useful book.
Product Review Summary: Principles of Foundation Engineering Exelent textbook that helped me in numerous project assignments over the last 7 years. I'd highly recommend it to practicing geotechnical/structural engineers.
