Theoretical Foundation Engineering
by Braja M. Das
by Braja M. Das
| New Book |
About the Item:
Theoretical Foundation Engineering provides in-depth reviews of the
existing literature on lateral earth pressure, sheet pile walls, ultimate
bearing capacity of shallow foundations, holding capacity of plate and
helical anchors in sand and clay, and slope stability analysis. The discussion
of the ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations is comprehensive,
and the review of earth anchors is unique to this book. The treatment is
primarily theoretical and does not compete with existing foundation design
books. It will be welcomed as a useful reference by graduate students of
geotechnical engineering, consultants in the field, as well as being a
valuable addition to any civil engineering library.
An unabridged J. Ross Publishing republication of the edition published by
Elsevier Science Publishers B.V., Amsterdam, 1987, 440pp.
About J. Ross Publishing Classics
J. Ross Publishing Classics are world-renowned texts and monographs
written by preeminent scholars. These books have been widely read,
discussed, and cited in the literature since their inaugural publications but

Key Features:
 | To demonstrate the application of theoretical derivations, several | |
| worked-out problems are given in each chapter and in some instances the solutions to the problems are given | ||
| Detailed mathematical treatment is kept to a minimum | |
| Profusely illustrated with charts, drawings, and illustrations to | |
| illuminate the problems and theory |
