Das, Braja M.
Principles of foundation engineering / Braja Das. - 5th ed. - Pacific Grove, Calif. ; London : Brooks/Cole, 2003. - 704 p. ; 24 cm.
Previous ed.: 1998. Includes index.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
1.Geotechnical properties of soil -- 2.Natural soil deposits and subsoil exploration -- 3.Shallow foundations: ultimate bearing capacity -- 4.Ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations -- 5.Shallow foundations: allowable bearing capacity and settlement -- 6.Matt foundation -- 7.Lateral earth pressure -- 8.Retaining walls -- 9.Sheet pile walls -- 10.Brace cuts -- 11.Pile foundations -- 12.Drilled-shaft foundations -- 13.Foundations on difficult soils -- 14.Soil improvement and gound modification.
Applying the fundamental principles of geotechnical engineering to earth supported and earth retaining structures, this text emphasises design principles in line with ABET requirements. This fifth edition has many new problems, updated code standards and increased use of SI units throughout.
