This second edition of M.J. Tomlinson’s seminal work on foundation design and construction, published in 1969, offers a comprehensive guide to the principles and practices of this critical aspect of civil engineering. Tomlinson’s expertise shines through, drawing from his extensive experience in both academic and professional spheres. The book delves into soil mechanics, site investigation techniques, and the design and construction of various foundation types, including shallow and deep foundations.
While the dust jacket shows signs of age, the book itself remains in remarkable condition, a testament to its enduring value as a reference work. For collectors, this edition represents an important milestone in the evolution of foundation engineering literature, capturing the state of the art in the late 1960s. Readers will appreciate the clear and concise writing style, accompanied by illustrative diagrams and tables, making it a valuable resource for both students and practicing engineers.
