Now in its fifth edition this classic textbook continues to offer a well-tailored resource for beginning graduate students in geotechnical engineering. Further developing the basic concepts from undergraduate study it provides a solid foundation for advanced study. This new edition addresses a variety of recent advances in the field and each section is updated. Braja Das particularly expands the content on consolidation shear strength of soils and both elastic and consolidation settlements of shallow foundations to accommodate modern developments. New material includes:Recently published correlations of maximum dry density and optimum moisture content of compactionRecent methods for determination of preconsolidation pressureA new correlation for recompression indexDifferent approaches to estimating the degree of consolidationA discussion on the relevance of laboratory strength tests to field conditionsSeveral new example problemsThis text can be followed by advanced courses dedicated to topics such as mechanical and chemical stabilization of soils geo-environmental engineering critical state soil mechanics geosynthetics rock mechanics and earthquake engineering. It can also be used as a reference by practical consultants. | Advanced Soil Mechanics Fifth Edition

This applies to all products except for digital items (e.g. Digital Music) that are provided immediately to you with your acknowledgement, and other items such as video, DVD, audio, video games, Sex and Sensuality products and software products where the item has been unsealed.
Sellers have to offer a refund for certain items only if they are faulty, such as: Personalised items and custom-made items, Perishable items, Newspapers and magazines, Unwrapped CDs DVDs and computer software. If you used your PayPal balance or bank account to fund the original payment, the refunded money will go back to your PayPal account balance. If you used a credit or debit card to fund the original payment, the refunded money will go back to your card. The seller will effect the refund within three working days but it may take up to 30 days for Paypal to process the transfer.
