Geotechnical engineering, the branch of engineering that is primarily concerned with Earth and its elements, utilises the concepts of soil mechanics, which has been presented in detail in Braja M Das' Principles of Geotechnical Engineering. It introduces the students of geotechnical engineering to the principle of soil mechanics and the properties of soil. The information present in the book brings forth a clearer understanding of the function of geotechnical engineering and its many applications in various spheres. This is the seventh edition of the text and is highly useful for the students of this subject. This is the 25h anniversary edition of Principles of Geotechnical Engineering and it is a popular textbook amongst students for its vast amount of background information that is required for the study of more - complex designs and other specified courses. It also covers major sections on the field practices of geotechnical engineering and its basic engineering procedures. The information present in this book is essential for design - oriented courses as well as for putting it into professional practice. Providing an overview of soil properties and mechanics, this book acquaints the readers with the rudimentary knowledge required to understand this sect of engineering and enables them to apply it in practical situations. Principles of Geotechnical Engineering written by Braja M Das, was published by Cengage Learning Engineering. This seventh edition was published in 2013 and is available in paperback. Key Features: This book comprises numerous figures and solved examples, which can better the understanding capability of students.
