Master the fundamental concepts and applications of foundation analysis design with PRINCIPLES OF FOUNDATION ENGINEERING. This market leading text maintains a careful balance of current research and practical field applications, offers a wealth of worked out examples and figures that show you how to do the work you will be doing as a civil engineer, and helps you develop the judgment you'll need to properly apply theories and analysis to the evaluation of soils and foundation design.Important Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.
An essential reference for both students and practicing engineers. Das succeeds in making foundation engineering understandable while maintaining technical rigor. The book's strength lies in its practical approach to design problems. What truly distinguishes this book is Das's ability to make complex geotechnical concepts accessible without oversimplification. The inclusion of SI and Imperial units throughout is particularly helpful for international practice. Minor Drawbacks: 1.Some numerical examples could use updating 2.Could include more on seismic design 3.Limited coverage of ground improvement techniques but it should be noted that Das has already written a book dedicated to soil improvement, and this book might be the perfect resource for me.
