Principles of Foundation Engineering

By Braja M. Das

Book Overview

Das capitalizes on the major strengths of the Second Edition by including more coverage of the design process via real world case studies in selected chapters, and design problems. A major feature of the Third Edition package is Spreadsheet Applications For Geotechnical Engineering by Thomas F. Wolff (Michigan State University). This ancillary contains spreadsheet templates on disk in both Lotus 1-2-3 and Borland QuattroPro formats, plus a print component containing instructions for use and student exercises (see SMP for Wolff: Spreadsheets For Geotechnical Engineering).

Customer Reviews

Careful Balance Of Current Research And Practical Field

"..... this book maintains the CAREFUL BALANCE OF CURRENT RESEARCH AND PRACTICAL FIELD applications that has made it a leading text in foundation engineering courses throughout the country and internationally....." [from the book of the back cover]

Very good reference, surprisingly a cheap one!

The only text book that cost me only ten bucks (hardcover)! However it contains all the information I needed.

Buen libro para estudiantes de Maestria

El libro es una buena referencia para una persona que esta haciendo una maestria en ingenieria civil.

Principles of Foundation Engineering

Exelent textbook that helped me in numerous project assignments over the last 7 years. I'd highly recommend it to practicing geotechnical/structural engineers.

Resourceful and Relevant for professional practice

The content of the book is extremely useful for civil and foundation engineers involved in the design and construction of foundation structures. The construction problems discussed in the examples are very relevant and helpful to the design engineers. The illustrations given in this book are fairly easy to understand which enable me to relate them to the similar geotechnical problems faced in the construction industry in my country.I may recommend the book to be one of the referenced text book for my masters degree student.I sincerely feel that this is a very good book as far as foundation design and construction practice are concern.
