1.[no image]Principles of Geotechnical Engineering
from Cengage-Engineering
Price: $126.36

Customer Review:
I ask the publisher and the author: Is another edition of this text really necessary?
The material in this edition is no different than the previous. The explanations on soil testing and soil behavior are still very deficient. There are no improvements made. Oh, I almost forgot: we have a... more info

2.Land Development HandbookLand Development Handbook
from McGraw-Hill Companies

Customer Review:
This is a good reference book, filled with useful texts and details. However, it could be a little more compact and more organize in terms of using section and sub-section to sort things out. That way, it's easier and faster for readers to reference and/or looking up certain topics.

3.An Introduction to Geotechnical EngineeringAn Introduction to Geotechnical Engineering
from Prentice Hall
Price: $135.02

Customer Review:
I was first introduced to this book as a grad student in the early 80s and I still use it to teach my graduate soil mechanics course today. It is as comprehensive as any soil mechanics text out there. Their treatment of shear strength is magnificent and worth the price of the book alone. There is a... more info

4.Geotechnical Engineering: Principles and PracticesGeotechnical Engineering: Principles and Practices
from Prentice Hall
Price: $123.20

Customer Review:
I was one of the students in Don Coduto's graduate level class that helped him "use" this book when it was in the final review stages. We helped him find all the little mistakes before final publishing. I still carry around that old 700+ page volume of a notebook we had for that class. It's nice to... more info

from Prentice Hall
Price: $123.20

Customer Review:
This is a great book.
It is true that some of the material could be updated - the book was published in 1996! Nonetheless, the basic principles of geotechnical earthquake engineering are there. Kramer's writing style makes difficult concepts accessible. The graphics and figures are nice and... more info

7.Soil Mechanics and FoundationsSoil Mechanics and Foundations
from Wiley

Customer Review:
I have found this book to be one of the best Soil Mechanics and Foundations texts I've found. It is ambitious in both its scope and the depth of material covered. Unfortunately, my text has lots of errors in it, incomplete formulas, symbols missing, etc., especially in the CSM Chapter. I don't know... more info

8.Foundation Analysis and DesignFoundation Analysis and Design
from McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math
Price: $163.00

Customer Review:
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... more info

9.Essentials of Soil Mechanics and Foundations: Basic Geotechnics (6th Edition)Essentials of Soil Mechanics and Foundations: Basic Geotechnics (6th Edition)
from Prentice Hall

Customer Review:
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... more info
