It provides in-depth reviews of the existing literature on lateral earth pressure, sheet pile walls, ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations, holding capacity of plate and helical anchors in sand and clay, and slope stability analysis. A useful reference for graduate students of geotechnical engineering, and consultants in the field.

This one-of-a-kind, definitive reference offers expansive coverage of the latest techniques, methods, applications, and theories in geotechnical engineering from the leading experts in the field.

Covering dynamics and mechanics used in architectural and structural engineering, this textbook is concerned with the relationship between motion of bodies and its causes, namely the forces acting on the bodies and the properties of the bodies (particularly mass and moment of inertia).

Explaining statics, this text is concerned with the analysis of loads (torque/moment) on physical systems in a state where relative positions of subsystems do not vary, or where structures are at a constant velocity or stable.

This work provides readers with comprehensive coverage of all the major geotechnical topics. The volume also includes a number of quizzes to help you practice what you've learnt and identify areas to work on, as well as a DVD featuring a copy of the student edition of GeoStudio, a software program used for solving a range of problems.

Originally published in the fall of 1983, Braja M. Das' Seventh Edition of PRINCIPLES OF FOUNDATION ENGINEERING continues to maintain the careful balance of current research and practical field applications that has made it the leading text in foundation engineering courses. Featuring a wealth of worked-out examples and figures that help students with theory and problem-solving skills, the book introduces civil engineering students to the fundamental concepts and application of foundation analysis design. Throughout, Das emphasizes the judgment needed to properly apply the theories and...

Intended as an introductory text in soil mechanics, the eighth edition of Das, PRINCIPLES OF GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING offers an overview of soil properties and mechanics together with coverage of field practices and basic engineering procedure. Background information needed to support study in later design-oriented courses or in professional practice is provided through a wealth of comprehensive discussions, detailed explanations, and more figures and worked out problems than any other text in the market.

Anchors are primarily used in the construction of foundations of earth-supported and earth-retaining structures. This book summarizes most theoretical and experimental works directed toward the development of proper relationships for the ultimate and allowable holding capacity of earth anchors.

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.

This book presents a one-stop reference to the empirical correlations used extensively in geotechnical engineering. The objective of this book is to present a critical evaluation of a wide range of empirical correlations reported in the literature, along with typical values of soil parameters, in the light of their experience and knowledge.
