It’s official: Soils in Construction, the textbook I have been a co-author on for more than twenty years, is now set to have a Seventh Edition sometime in the next twelve months.
The main objective of this edition is to bring things up to date, and that especially includes the graphics. This book has been around for over fifty years and, although the photos we have used have been very good for instructional purposes, advances in graphic design make it important that these be kept up to date where this is possible.
If you or the organisation you work for have photos or diagrams of geotechnical construction work that you think might be useful for the book, go to the contact page and send a message. Full credit (but no monetary compensation) will be given for submissions that are actually used.
