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

Modelling and Analysis of Roll-Type Steel Mats for Rapid Stabilization of Permafrost (I) - Modeling -
TL;DR: In this paper, a parametric study was performed using finite element analysis model to analyze the effect of wheel loads-induced permanent plastic deformation on steel mat deformation and found that increasing the thickness of steel mat is a feasible solution on this problem.

Seismic Performance of Gravity Retaining Walls Considering the Passive Soil at the Front Side
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship between the pseudo-static factor of safety, seismic coefficient, and seismic displacement for gravity walls and established applicable curves, which can be used to determine the required embedment of a wall in the front soil and also for estimating the corresponding seismic displacement.
