Soils, Earthwork, and Foundations is a practical resource that serves as an informative guide to soils and foundations. An essential resource for building code inspectors and others who are involved in permit review and field operations with regard to constructing foundations, this book bridges the gap between the sometimes highly theoretical and technically complex world of geotechnical engineering and foundation design, and the ordinary construction activities of actually building foundations and dealing with soil conditions.
