Hi, buddy,
are these information you provided precise? Anyway, thanks for your great job!
I need this book how can I get it?
Hello mariwan,
Plase find the link for download in the bottom of post (pdf1), then download it as usually.
how to find safe bearing capacity of soil if c and fi is given
it is genearl and fruitful to understand.
thanks for the opportunity to have such a knowledgeable manual. i think it would improve upon my professional career.
I cant complete the download of this piece of literature, what could be wrong? a pop up says the file is damaged. advise?
I cant complete the download of this piece of literature, what could be wrong?
Am having problems downloading your manuals which I think would be useful
Its nice book to understand soil & foundation characteristics.
Thanks for the documment you provided, its realy a knowledgeble manual…i think it will be helpful to me.
Thank you very much.
