GDS Founder and Chairman, prize-winning geotechnical author Dr Bruce Menzies, has had his new book, “Advanced Unsaturated Soil Mechanics and Engineering”, published by Taylor & Francis. The book was written with first author Professor Charles W.W. Ng of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST).
n 2005, Charles was Overseas Fellow at Churchill College Cambridge. Charles and Bruce used this opportunity to work on the book together. Charles and Bruce have co-authored in the past. This new book is dedicated to Prof Delwyn G. Fredlund, unsaturated soil mechanics pioneer.
When Bruce was Visiting Scholar at HKUST in 2003, they wrote the book “A short course in soil-structure engineering of deep foundations, excavations and tunnels” (also with co-author Noel Simons) published by Thomas Telford in 2004. The HKUST unsaturated soil volume change device is licensed to GDS.
