Principles of Foundation Engineering
By Braja M. Das
About your course materials
A must-have resource for all foundation engineering courses, Das' PRINCIPLES OF FOUNDATION ENGINEERING, 10th Edition carefully balances current research with practical field applications as it introduces your civil engineering students to the core concepts and applications of foundation analysis design. Throughout this best-selling book, Dr. Das emphasizes how to develop the critical judgment civil engineers need to properly apply theories and analysis to the evaluation of soils and foundation design. A new chapter (Ch. 10) focuses on the uplift capacity of shallow foundations and helical anchors. This edition provides more worked-out examples and figures than any other book of its kind. New figures and updated worked-out examples accompany new learning objectives and illustrative photos to emphasize the skills most critical for students to master as successful civil engineers. WebAssign's customizable online resources further assist in reinforcing foundational skills.
