The Engineering of Foundations incorporates theory into real world practice: The text emphasizes conceptual understanding and avoids an
oversimplistic treatment of the subject. Estimation of soil parameters
for use in design is given high priority. Users will find an up-to-date
text that relates theory to real world practices and integrates concepts and continuity of examples across chapters. Illustrations, applications and hands-on examples are provided. The text not only explains the "how", but also the "why".
