Summary: Classic on Foundation Design
Comment: 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.

Summary: Bible for foundation engineer
Comment: This book has been a Design manual for many years for a practising engineer like me, who has found extensive usage of this book for all types of foundation problems. The fifth edition of the book has many additional features like many user friendly programs included in the floppy and many worked out examples which explain the step by step procedure for using the programs. In the chapter on Sheet pile wall design , the presentation of conventional 'free' and 'fixed earth'methods have been dispensed with and the author recommends the usage of FEM methods instead,due to the easy availability many of the author's FEM programs.But a comparison of the results of any sheet pile problem solved by the conventional and the FEM methods along with the author's explanation would have helped the users to understand the basic difference in approach by the two methods.Since FEM approach of the author does not consider the active earth pressure below the dredgeline( the reasons for this assumption is not clearly explained ),the method gives very much lower embedment depth as compared to the conventional approach wherein stability is checked with active earth pressure upto the bottom of the sheet pile.Hence the FEM approach needs to be used with caution. On the whole the book is a real treasure

Summary: A fundamental reference
Comment: If you have only a few geotechnical engineering books, this should be one of them. As a practicing geotechnical engineer I use this book 2 to 3 times per week. It includes the theory and essential reference material.
