Robert Wade Brown, PE is an internationally respected expert on foundation problems and expansive soils behavior, and is the author of seven prior books on these subjects. From 1955 to 1963, he served as a physical chemist and research petroleum engineer, during which time he developed systems to stimulate oil well production. Several of his innovations are still in use. He owns Brown Foundation Repair and Consulting, Inc., in Garland, Texas, and consults around the world through Brown Consolidated, Inc. Since 1963, his principal areas of activity have been in the study of lightly loaded foundations constructed on expansive soils, their behavior, and repair. As a forensic consultant, he has lectured nationally and internationally and is widely published in technical journals.
