Principles of Foundation Engineering

by Braja M. Das

Braja M. Das' Sixth Edition of PRINCIPLES OF FOUNDATION ENGINEERING maintains 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 analysis to the evaluation of soils and foundation design as well as the need for field experience. The sixth edition contains many new homework and worked-out problems.

An essential reference for both students and practicing engineers. Das succeeds in making foundation engineering understandable while maintaining technical rigor. The book's strength lies in its practical approach to design problems.
What truly distinguishes this book is Das's ability to make complex geotechnical concepts accessible without oversimplification. The inclusion of SI and Imperial units throughout is particularly helpful for international practice.
Minor Drawbacks:
1.Some numerical examples could use updating
2.Could include more on seismic design
3.Limited coverage of ground improvement techniques but it should be noted that Das has already written a book dedicated to soil improvement, and this book might be the perfect resource for me.
