Hong Kong GeoPublication # 1

Colleagues:

Was doing a little surfing for rules of thumb yesterday for embedment of power poles and ran across the following website - check it out. Hong Kong has put out some dynamic publications in the past (slope stability for instance) - this, at my first glance, looks like a winner!

They do have a lot of great stuff.

And a recent letter to Civil Engineering magazine by one of our esteemed colleagues is nothing to sneeze at either. Kudos!
