Very Pleased
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I found this book to be very insightful in all things foundations; shallow, deep, etc. Joseph Bowles does an excellent job of bringing a very technical subject to novice engineers seeking to increase their knowledge base on such a complex subject. My preference would have been English units but the SI calculations throughout the book do not detract from its thoroughness of content coverage.
Excellent Working Reference
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This book is an excellent working reference for any civil/geotechnical engineer. The example problems are very well written. The charts and graphs are easily read and very clearly printed. Excellent section on the design and analysis of segmental retaining walls. Beware of some other sites selling versions of this book printed overseas and sold here.
Classic on Foundation Design
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I have used this text book since its 2nd edition and was always impressed by this book. Relevant for both students and the practicing engineer, it is an authority on foundation and retaining wall design. In my opinion all structural engineers should have a copy of this book.
A Bible on Foundation Design.

I have used this book since its 2nd edition and have always been impressed by this book. It is now fully metric thank God and expanded to cover just about all possible foundation and retaining wall problems. A must for all practicing engineers.
Bowles gets Metric
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
I am quite pleased with J. Bowles' previous edition (4th), but unless you are familiar with or solely use the metric system of units, I would recommend the 4th Edition (1988). It contains the same basic information, and includes both US and metric (in parenthesis) units. Gary Marcus.
