From Consultant to Contractor,
By Geode "The dude abides..." (Atlanta, Georgia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Construction and Design of Cement Grouting: A Guide to Grouting in Rock Foundations (Wiley Series of Practical Construction Guides) (Paperback)
This book is, as stated in the introduction, a treatise on grouting. This book allows the reader to either skim the surficial topics of grouting, or dive deeper into the mechanics of grouting. Through the years, one will use the margins as scratch paper for computations and notes. After grouting for 4 years (a blip on the screen compared to the author), this book answers lingering questions I have had. It is a worthwhile addition to any professional geologic-geotechnical library.
