Reflections on geotechnical practice,
By C. J. Schexnayder (Tempe, Arizona) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Construction of Fills, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
This is a descriptive expose of personal experiences in geotechnical practice. There are some interesting "case studies" presented to illustrate points. But much of the rambling is about conflicts between engineers trained in specialties other than soil mechanics and their lack of comprehension concerning geotechnical principles. The book would be better titled conflicts in engineering practice. The author uses the problems that are created by bad engineering practice to explain by example what to watch for when responsible to over seeing construction practice. It is a book about construction practice more than design analysis. Though the book is titled Construction of Fills, 50 plus pages of the 253 text pages is devoted to construction of septic systems. If you like to read war stories this is your book.
