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

Stresses in soil–bentonite slurry trench cut-off walls
TL;DR: In this article, a model is proposed to predict the steady-state horizontal and vertical effective stresses in the backfill after consolidation, and the obtained stresses are then used to estimate the hydraulic conductivity of backfill.
Potential applications of dynamic and static cone penetrometers in MDOT pavement design and construction.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of a study conducted by the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) Research on Potential Applications of Static and Dynamic Cone Penetrometers in Pavement Design and Construction.

Assessment of seismic vulnerability of continuous bridges considering soil-structure interaction and wave passage effects
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of non-synchronized motion (due to the difference in the ground motion arrival time at different bridge supports) on the seismic performance of continuous box girder bridges, and the severity of such effects whether soil-structure interaction, SSI, is ignored or considered in the analysis.

Applications of numerical limit analysis (NLA) to stability problems of rock and soil masses
TL;DR: In this article, a discussion on available alternatives for the formulation of NLA specialized for the determination of collapse load factors of geotechnical structures in/on rock (fractured or not) and soil masses.

Applied bearing pressure beneath a reinforced soil foundation used in a geosynthetic reinforced soil integrated bridge system
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an empirical approach to determine the applied pressure distribution beneath the reinforced soil foundation in GRS-IBS construction, which is a useful first step for researchers, as it draws important attention to this issue, and provides a framework for collecting meaningful field data on future projects which accurately capture real GRSIBS foundation behavior.
