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.

Database for Baghdad Soil Using GIS Techniques

Athraa Hashim Mohammed, +2 more
- 01 Jan 2012 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a database for Baghdad soils is made using different GIS techniques connecting the spatial locations of those soils with their properties (Atterberg limits, specific gravity, grain size analysis, Shear Strength parameters, Consolidation parameters), Borehole log, Site profile using the attribute tables, hyperlinks, metadata and SQL (System Query Language), so GIS technique give the facilities for adding, editing and analyzing the existing data as well as the any future data of Baghdad soils.

Determining the weight of the hammer based on expert experience for estimating load-carrying capacity

Mila Kusuma Wardani, +3 more
TL;DR: This study aims to help inexperience geotechnical engineers to decide the optimum weight of the hammer on the pile driving machine using the Bayes method and suggests that the best type of pile driving is Drop Hammer.

Load and resistance factor design (LRFD) approach for the reliability-based seismic design of bridge abutments

B. Munwar Basha, +1 more
- 17 Sep 2010 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a load and resistance factor design (LRFD) approach to reliability-based seismic design of bridge abutments is presented, where failure criteria for defining the performance functions are overturning failure about the toe point, eccentricity failure of the resultant force, sliding failure along the base and bearing capacity instability.

Sensitivity analysis of laterally loaded piles by means of adjoint method

B.B. Budkowska, +1 more
- 01 Jan 1992 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple one-dimensional idealization in conjunction with the beam on-elastic-foundation approach is used for sensitivity analysis of laterally loaded piles in soils, and the first variation of an arbitrary displacement and an internal force at a specified cross-section due to some variations of the design variables are derived using the adjoint method.
