footing / foundation design reference
(OP)
Hello all,
I am a pretty new to the professional world and although I have a masters I have done/seen very little footing design. I was wondering if you guys could suggest any good books that focus on "our" design concerns as structural designers.

1. Tomlinson, M.J. Foundation Design and Construction (for an excellent "understanding" of foundations and "not idealized" conditions)
2. Terzaghi, Peck and Mesri, Soil Mechanics in Engineering Practice.
Also the Paper by Polous in the 2001 (?) ISSMFE Conference in Istanbul.

Ive been wanting to get Tomlinson (Foundation Design and construction) for a while but the reviews by amazon are not all that good. From the above it seems it is a good text.
Any others second that ? Also interested to know if any out there have Bowles and a comparison to Tomlinson.
Cheers!
