Principles of Foundation Engineering Description
Originally published in the fall of 1983, Braja M. Das' Seventh Edition of PRINCIPLES OF FOUNDATION ENGINEERING continues to maintain 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.

This book is an ok text on foundations. There are a lots of typos in the book. My professor has to constantly add corrections to the book. He calls the text sloppy. In every edition some mistakes are corrected and new ones appear. Would not recommend this book to anyone, instead look at some Federal Highway Publications and a soil mechanics book. That will be a lot more helpful.

This book came to me in perfect physical condition so no complaints with that process. My complaint lies within the content of the book. I have noticed that there are way to many mistakes in the book. Especially in the problems at the end of each chapter and the answers they give in the back of the book. You can never trust the answer they put in the back of the book because on several occations I have found the answer to be wrong. Not only that, the graphical representations and charts are way to cluttered and appear to have several examples in one figure. All of the graphs need grid lines because they are all difficult to read.
