A true Renaissance man, Fu Hua Chen was educated in both China and the United C'@i/+
States. Returning to his homeland to contribute to its struggle against Japanese Fb>?1i`RN
attrition, he was chief engineer on the Burma Road. That artery held together the +Q)XH>jh
victorious Allied campaign to end World War II on the Asian mainland. !zpRrx _
After the Tibet Highway, the Ho Chi Minh Trail, and other large China projects, k FD; i
Dr. Chen brought his family to the U.S. to build a better life. Successful in that, he MYvY]Jx3
then devoted his remaining years to returning to his community, his society, and his 'ya{9EdlT
profession some of the benefits American life had provided for him. yYYSeH
Acknowledged as the world’s authority on expansive soils, Dr. Chen published E GS) b
books on that and other aspects of geotechnical engineering, and a riveting autobiography. (gU!=F?#m
He wanted the top rung of his career ladder to be his guide for constructors T/~f~Z z
and consultants to demystify soils and foundation engineering. It is a plain-talk effort a0E)2vt4
to help builders understand and deal with that complex facet so vital to construction. j0aXyLNX
