Geotechnical Engineering Books


1.		Six-Minute Solutions for Civil PE Exam Geotechnical Problems from Professional Publications, Inc. Price: $52.50 Customer Review: This book has great problems for preparing for the Civil PE exam. I did not take the Geotech afternoon portion, so I can not comment on the Depth section of the book. With that said, the breadth questions are very representative of what was on the April 2009 morning session.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
