5.0 out of 5 stars A lucid presentation Oct 19 1999
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
Geotechnical engineering can be a difficult subject. With Cernica's book, the subject becomes a bit easier to learn. What I like about the book is the author's down-to-earth practical approach. The book is curently being used at Virginia Tech as a required text. Students seem to like it.
