PRINCIPLES OF SOIL DYNAMICS is an unparalleled reference book designed for an introductory course on Soil Dynamics. Authors Braja M. Das, best selling authority on Geotechnical Engineering, and Ramana V. Gunturi, Dean of the Civil Engineering Department at the India Institute of Technology in New Delhi, present a well revised update of this already well established text. The primary focus of the book is on the applications of soil dynamics and not on the underlying principles. The material covered includes the fundamentals of soil dynamics, dynamic soil properties, foundation vibration, soil liquefaction, pile foundation and slope stability.The most up-to-date treatment of Soil Dynamics available in a textbook.
Contains complete pedagogical apparatus including worked out examples, practical engineering applications, and extensive sets of homework problems that help students grasp the basic concept of soil dynamics.
Provides good overall balance between the concepts of soil dynamics and their application within civil engineering.
A complete chapter (Chapter 8) on lateral earth pressure on retaining walls gives students a thorough introduction to this important topic.
Contains important, up-to-date topics such as machine foundations on piles.
