Information About
This textbook provides current state-of-art (SOA) and state-of-practice (SOP) methods in foundation engineering.It has been widely used as a practitioner's reference source, includes SOP material but with major emphasis on SOA which is accomplished by including a mix of practice, "how to," and cutting-edge technology.
