An engineering text surprisingly accessible to the construction manager
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
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

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.
