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

Improving the Properties of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement for Roadway Base Applications
Paul J. Cosentino,Edward H. Kalajian,Albert M Bleakley,Babacar S Diouf,Thaddeus J Misilo,Andrew J Petersen,Ryan E Krajcik,Amir M Sajjadi +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a study was conducted to improve Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) strength in base course applications while reducing creep to an acceptable level using compaction techniques, fractionating, blending with high quality base course aggregate, and/or by chemical stabilization with asphalt emulsion, Portland cement, or lime.

The Importance of Clay in Geotechnical Engineering
TL;DR: In this article, the properties of clay, as well as the use of clay in geotechnical engineering, are examined, and many important soil problems related to clay have been observed in the past.
Dissertation
Feasability of using a gyratory compactor to determine compaction characteristics of soil
TL;DR: In this paper, the feasibility of using a Superpave Gyratory Compactor (SGC) to compact soil specimens was explored, and the results indicated that each soil type (A-1-a, A3, A-4, and A-7-6) was sensitive to one or more of the gyratory compaction variables.

Use of waste tire-chips in shallow footings subjected to eccentric loading-an experimental study
Gourav Gill,Ravi Kant Mittal +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on applications of tire wastes in shallow footings subjected to eccentric loading conditions, and the optimum quantity of tire waste and the depth of reinforcement recommended is 30% (by weight) and 1B respectively.
