TL;DR: Das' "Principles of geotechnical engineering" as discussed by the authors provides a good overview of soil properties and mechanics, combined with a study of field practices and basic soil engineering procedures.
Abstract: Braja M. Das' PRINCIPLES OF GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING provides civil engineering students and professionals with an overview of soil properties and mechanics, combined with a study of field practices and basic soil engineering procedures. Through four editions, this book has distinguished itself by its exceptionally clear theoretical explanations, realistic worked examples, thorough discussions of field testing methods, and extensive problem sets, making this book a leader in its field. Das's goal in revising this best-seller has been to reorganize and revise existing chapters while incorporating the most up-to-date information found in the current literature. Additionally, Das has added numerous case studies as well as new introductory material on the geological side of geotechnical engineering, including coverage of soil formation.

TL;DR: 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.

TL;DR: The introduction to geotechnical engineering as discussed by the authors takes intensive research and observation in the field and the laboratory which have refined and improved the science of foundation design and presents them in a simple and concise form.
Abstract: Introduction to Geotechnical Engineering takes intensive research and observation in the field and the laboratory which have refined and improved the science of foundation design and presents them in a simple and concise form. This non-calculus based text is primarily designed for classroom instruction in civil engineering technology programs where soil mechanics and foundation engineering are combined into one course. It is also a useful and convenient reference tool for civil engineering practitioners as minimal supplementary material is necessary for its use.
