Includes bibliographical references.
Contents : Geotechnical engineering--from the beginning, soil deposits--origin, grain-size, and shape, weight-volume relationships and plasticity, soil classification, soil compaction, hydraulic conductivity, seepage, stresses in a soil mass, consolidation, shear strength of soil, ground imprevement, subsurface explorations, slope stability, lateral earth pressure, retaining walls, braced cuts, and sheet pile walls, shallow, foundations--bearing capacity, settlemetn of shallow foundations, pile founations, drilled shaft, load and resistance factor design (LRFD)
"FUNDAMENTALS OF GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING, 5E presents the essential components of two market-leading engineering texts in one powerful combined course. The text offers a concise blend of critical information from Braja Das' leading PRINCIPLES OF GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING and PRINCIPLES OF FOUNDATION ENGINEERING. This valuable, cohesive book focuses on the fundamental concepts of both soil mechanics and foundation engineering without the distraction of excessive details or cumbersome alternatives. A wealth of worked-out examples and useful supporting figures help your students master key concepts and gain essential problem-solving skills. Prestigious authors Das and Sivakugan carefully balance today's most current research with practical field applications in a proven approach that has made Das' books undisputed leaders in the field."
