The 7th edition of the "PrincipLES of FOUNDATION ENGINEERING" as discussed by the authors was published in the fall of 1983 and has been widely used in foundation engineering courses.
Abstract
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.

Reliability analysis of drilled shaft behavior using finite difference method and Monte Carlo simulation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a reliability analysis of drilled shaft behavior by combining the finite difference technique for analyzing non-linear load-displacement behavior with Monte Carlo simulation method, and develop probabilistic relationships for drilled shaft design for both total stress (undrained) and effective stress (drained) parameters.

Finite-Element Parametric Study of the Consolidation Behavior of a Trial Embankment on Soft Clay

TL;DR: In this article, a case study for numerical analysis of the consolidation behavior of an instrumented trial embankment constructed on a soft soil foundation is presented, where the authors estimate the long-term settlement and horizontal displacement of the embankments based on one-dimensional consolidation analysis and nonlinear finite-element analysis.

Estimation of ultimate bearing capacity of driven piles in c-φ soil using MLP-GWO and ANFIS-GWO models: a comparative study

TL;DR: Sensitivity analysis confirmed that the pile area and length were the most effective factors for estimation of UBC, and the MLP-GWO model estimated the UBC with high accuracy.

Stability and strength analysis of leaning towers

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a strain-hardening plasticity model for shallow footings from which a nonlinear rotational stiffness (moment-rotation curve) for the soil-foundation system can be derived.

Probabilistic Seismic Assessment of Structure, Foundation and Soil Interacting Systems

TL;DR: In this article, a study on probabilistic performance evaluation methodologies, development of a multiplatform and hybrid simulation framework, verifications of numerical models of structural and geotechnical systems in comparison with measured data, and the derivation of fragility curves of a bridge in Central and Eastern United States.
