Well guys the end of year one is fast approaching and yours truly is required to submit a paper so the question is this What is the bible on Foundations? What is the best book for site management? What book would you recommend for material quality,site setup /setout? and finally managing concrete the definitive guide? I have read alot of different books on these subjects but they seem to be very theory based (you know what I mean) lots of irrelavent s... stuff, ie.. not one book/books that I would want to keep in my office as a reference for future,so a book to cover all or some of the subjects listed above ,they can be in English ,Americian or north north America (Canadian) , so I'll put it this way you're going on a job to a desert Island, no broadband etc, what reference book/s would you take that will cover most of the bases and be practical?
