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.

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...

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.
