About The Book
"Advanced Soil Mechanics, 5th Edition" by Braja M. Das is a comprehensive resource designed for graduate students and professionals in geotechnical engineering. Building upon the foundational concepts taught in undergraduate courses, this edition continues to offer an in-depth examination of the subject, incorporating the latest advancements in the field.

This fifth edition includes several updates, particularly in the areas of consolidation, shear strength, and settlements of shallow foundations. New material addresses recently published correlations for maximum dry density and optimum moisture content of compaction, methods for determining preconsolidation pressure, and a new correlation for recompression index.

The book also explores different approaches to estimating the degree of consolidation and discusses the relevance of laboratory strength tests in relation to field conditions. With numerous new example problems, this edition ensures a hands-on learning experience.

This book serves as a vital resource for advanced geotechnical courses, such as mechanical and chemical stabilization of soils, geo-environmental engineering, and earthquake engineering, and is also an excellent reference for consultants and practitioners in the field.
