Advanced Soil Mechanics

Abstract

The fields of soil mechanics and foundation engineering already have many significant textbooks on these subjects; thus it seems that it would be difficult to produce a new textbook in this area. Braja Das, however, has strived and succeeded in producing a work with a refreshing approach to the subject.The text is intended as an introductory graduate text. The book, as described by the author, has as its basis class notes that he prepared for teaching; thus the text is organized as a logical progression in the development of engineering thought in soil mechanics.
