TLDR
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.read more

Leachate Collection and Removal Systems (LCRS)
TL;DR: In this paper, a discussion of the major design and operation considerations of leachate collection and removal systems in the context of sustainable landfilling is provided, with a particular focus on how sustainable land filling approaches can influence the designer's and operator's approaches to prevent excessive build-up of liquids on the bottom liner system, which is one of the most critical pieces of infrastructure that protects the environment from potential impacts of landfills.

A New Approach for Determination of Adhesion Coefficient in Pipejacking Method by Experimental and Numerical Analysis: An Example from Istanbul
TL;DR: In this article, the collector line constructed by the pipejacking process (which is 1535 m in length and 800 mm in diameter) was examined, and jacking force length graphics were prepared with the use of jacking forces records obtained from the machine.

Axial capacity estimation of straight drilled shafts in expansive and high plastic clay at different seasonal installation periods
W. Witherspoon,Anand Puppala +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on axial capacity calculations of shafts installed in expansive soils at different seasonal periods and determined the void zones of drilled shafts and surrounding soil by using an intrusive circular rod like probe.
