Design Aids in Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering  (English, Hardcover, Kaniraj Shenbaga R.)

The book serves the interests and needs of designers, teachers and students of civil engineering. It provides the designers with specific design procedures and the relevant background material to understand the theory and methodology behind the procedures, their limitations and their relevance to the problem on hand. For teachers, this is a good resource book to teach more than one course in geo technical engineering, both at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The students will find the book a good reference for several courses in geo technical engineering and in their future professional career. The remaining part of the book, on soil engineering, covers all important problems typically met with in civil engineering practice. Applications of procedures are illustrated with numerous solved examples. Instances where the designer must use his own judgment are also brought out.
