Cover of Practical Problems in Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering
This uniquely exhaustive 2-volume compilation of problems encountered in the daily practice of soil mechanics and foundation engineering is a must for students and geotechnical engineers alike. It contains detailed solutions to more than 150 typical problems, clearly illustrated with numerous diagrams and drawings, and graded according to difficulty. All problems are real-life examples taken from the authors' own experience and covering the whole range of soil mechanics and foundation engineering sub-fields. For practising geotechnical and civil engineers, it is an invaluable guide and reference, while specialists in soil mechanics will find answers to problems which are rarely to be found in the technical literature.

Cover of Water-Well Design and Construction
The practice of geohydrology has, over the past few decades, become increasingly sophisticated, requiring a degree of specialisation that was not needed five or ten years ago. In response to this increase in level of sophistication, many universities have developed programs in geohydrology. As practitioners, however, one of the deficiencies observed in many of the recent, as well as earlier graduates, is the lack of awareness of practical applications and the limitations of many theoretical approaches. While many universities offer good programs in ``theoretical geohydrology'', practical application courses are rarely available.

The purpose of this book is to provide a reference for addressing many of the practical hydrogeological problems. Although it deals largely with the design and construction of water wells, it also broadly addresses the practice of geohydrology.
