Trying to find the title of a temporary foundations textboook...one chapter was by 'PEInc' 1

[Ingenuity]

A few months ago in one of the forums there was a reference to (or review of?) on a foundation/temporary structures textbook and one of the chapters was authored by Eng-Tips member "PEInc".

I did a search to no avail - does any one recall the textbook title?

Thanks.

PEInc. is the author of the seventh chapter of "Temporary Structures in Construction, Third Edition". Here is one vendor:

and here, from PEInc.'s website is the table of contents and introduction for his chapter:

Many thanks, SlideRuleEra.

 

[PEinc]

Thanks, SRE. You sure took care of that quickly!
P.S. I don't get any royalties from sales.

But I hear you haven't paid for a drink in any Foundation Engineering Bar in the country.

 

[PEinc]

I drink tea, and not in bars!

You are welcome, PE. I figured it would look better if you did not have to promote your own book. Besides, I want to be first in line at Jed's "Foundation Engineering Bar".

You are all a good bunch of folks at Eng-Tips...I would buy all of you a beer for the help and camaraderie I have received over the past 10+ years.

Thanks, again.

PEInc - I may have to mail you my copy when I make the purchase to get Chapter 7 autographed by you.

If you can't find the Foundation Engineering Bar, you might have to settle.

 

[PEinc]

Thanks, SRE & Ron.
Ingenuity, autographs are free! Shipping is on you.
In my experience, you can't have enough good reference books.

No problems on the shipping.

I agree re ref texts. Back in the 90's I purchased a ref text entitled "Ground Control and Improvement" by Xanthakos, Abramson and Bruce, and a short time later were doing a complicated ground anchor project in karst limestone (massive voids, huge grout volumes etc) and so I called up Donald Bruce and then met up with him...and got his autograph too on the book.

I think Donald Bruce resides in your neck of the woods - in PA. You know him?

 

[PEinc]

I don't know him personally. We've been involved on one or two of the same projects but we are not really in the same business.
He consults. I design.
