1. Introduction | PART 1. GEOTECHNICAL PROPERTIES AND SOIL EXPLORATION | 2. Geotechnical properties of soil | 3. Natural soil deposits and subsoil exploration | 4. Instrumentation and monitoring in geotechnical engineering | PART 2. SOIL IMPROVEMENT | 5. Soil improvement and ground modification | PART 3. FOUNDATION ANALYSIS | 6. Shallow foundations: ultimate bearing capacity | 7. Ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations: special cases | 8. Vertical stress increase in soil | 9. Settlement of shallow foundations | 10. Mat foundations | 11. Load and resistance factor design (LRFD) | 12. Pile foundations | 13. Drilled-shaft foundations | 14. Piled rafts: an overview | 15. Foundations on difficult soil | PART 4. LATERAL EARTH PRESSURE AND EARTH RETAINING STRUCTURES | 16. Lateral earth pressure | 17. Retaining walls | 18. Sheet-pile walls | 19. Braced cuts |
Summary: "A must-have resource for all foundation engineering courses, Principles of Foundation Engineering, 9th Edition provides a careful balance between current research and practical field applications as it introduces civil engineering students to the core concepts and applications of foundation analysis design. Throughout this best-selling book, Dr. Das and Dr. Sivakugan emphasize how to develop the critical judgment civil engineers need to properly apply theories and analysis to the evaluation of soils and foundation design. This new edition includes three new chapters that highlight developing topics. This edition also provides a wealth of worked-out examples and multiple new figures that emphasize the skills most critical for students to master as successful civil engineers." -- Provided by publisher
