An engineering text surprisingly accessible to the construction manager Although this appears to be an acedemic text, it is both informative and useful for the non-engineer construction manager. The chapters on soil types, clasification of soils, and the impact of water were clear and not unnecessarily technical. The chapters on stresses, settlement, and compaction provided a broader perspective useful for evaluating unusual conditions. And, the chapters on foundation design and slope stability offered practical insights. In one book, a most usable and complete treatment of the subject for the working construction manager. Note: althought the reviewer and author have very similar names, they are not related, and have never had any contact. Choosing Project Success - A Guide for Building Professionals | ||
Seller really cares! This product never arrived but the seller gave me all my money back as well as a credit to use for another purchase from them. Very caring people when the customer is not satisfied! | ||
essentials of soil mechanics Can't review a book I have NOT received. When will it be delivered? Lolly Pinkston | ||
Good for AM portion of PE Exam and PM portion of Geotechnical Even though Index is not that great like CERM (Civil Engineering Reference Manual, you can still find valuable examples and basic concepts that PE Exam requires. Best of Luck. | ||
Excellent Resource I found Mr. McCarthy's book to be a valuable resource. From a geologist's perspective, it was of great help in bridging the gap between engineering geology and geotechnical engineering. It gave me greater insight into not only field technique, but also into geologic considerations that are of importance in foundation design. The text was both concise and clearly written. | ||
