4.0 out of 5 stars
Well-written textbook with clear pictures,
By "punlop" (Japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Basic Soil Mechanics (Paperback)
I used this textbook for my undergrad. Actually, like a lump of people, I also bought the books written by Das. I should say that I prefer Whitlow's than Das's. Whitlow gives good explanation about soil mechanics theories and clearly exphasizes those with nice pictures.This book is UK-based! It means that you will gain some more interesting soil mech. information based on English knowledge; for examples, 3-D stress path or liquid limit using cone penetration test. I would have given 5 stars to this book if it had not contained some errors despite the 3rd edition. An example of error is Worked example 5.12!

Good all-rounder,
By Tom Sklucki (Birmingham UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Basic Soil Mechanics (Paperback)
I bought the 4th Edition(2001)paperback ISBN 0-582-38109-6 A good all-rounder for UK/European biased teaching & practice. I haven't yet tried the accompanying software CD. The content is well laid out, clearly written and well illustrated. Coverage of the subject is well balanced.
