Civil engineering references beyond Vitruvius

Which books would suit someone interested specifically in civil engineering?

Alongside Vitruvius, the recommendations are Edward Bromhead's The Stability of Slopes and the separate collection Landslides in Research, Theory and Practice.

For civil engineering, Vitruvius remains the historical recommendation. Edward Bromhead's The Stability of Slopes supplies a more specialized reference, although its price is described as high. The multi-author Landslides in Research, Theory and Practice is also recommended. The recommendations concentrate on slopes and landslides rather than supplying a general reading list for every civil-engineering discipline.
