Book Reviews of Soil Mechanics in Engineering Practice
Book Review: Strong Geotechnical Text
Summary: 5 Stars
I had the chance of taking a soil mechanics class with Professor Mesri at UIUC and I know first hand of his expertise and attention to detail. However, these traits are apparent when reading the Third edition, the information is well organized and exhaustively backed up with experimental data. The only issue with the book is that it has so much information in it, it is hard to finish and can be tough to use as a quick guide.
If you are taking a soil mechanics or even geology in general I strongly recommend this textbook.
