Fundamentals of Ground Engineering is an unconventional study guide that serves up the key principles, theories, definitions, and analyses of geotechnical engineering in bite-sized pieces. This book contains brief—one or two pages per topic—snippets of information covering the geotechnical engineering component of a typical undergraduate course in civil engineering as well as some topics for advanced courses. Written in note form, it summarizes the basic principles and theories of soil mechanics, the procedures for creating a geotechnical model, and the common analyses for slopes, foundations, and walls.
Puts the mechanics into soil mechanics
Presents information that is simple to use—structured around diagrams and formulae with few words
Explains detailed analyses given in the longer standard texts
A short, easily read summary of the basic theories and routine analyses of ground engineering, Fundamentals of Ground Engineering incorporates plenty of diagrams and concentrated data without going into detailed explanations. This text is an ideal reference for students, practicing civil engineers—senior and junior—and by engineering geologists.

May I suggest for new sections for Abaqus and Ansys. The use of these software is gradually increasing, thereby leading to scattered posts in the forum. Having them in one section will help add to the yet organized forum and reduce scattered posts. I will personally contribute to posts in the section.
N.B: Can we have a way to hide our forum password...this will help to further encrypt our materials and softwares.
Elastic settlement of shallow foundations on granular soil: a critical review
Author: Braja M. Das | Size: 2.55 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified
Developments in major procedures available in the literature relating to elastic settlement of shallow foundations supported by granular soil are presented and compared. The discrepancies between the observed and the predicted settlement are primarily due to the inability to estimate the modulus of elasticity of soil using the results of the standard penetration tests and/or cone penetration tests. Based on the procedures available at this time, recommendations have been made for the best estimation of settlement of foundations

This accessible, clear and concise textbook strikes a balance between theory and practical applications for an introductory course in soil mechanics for undergraduates in civil engineering, construction, mining and geological engineering.
Soil Mechanics Fundamentals lays a solid foundation on key principles of soil mechanics for application in later engineering courses as well as in engineering practice. With this textbook, students will learn how to conduct a site investigation, acquire an understanding of the physical and mechanical properties of soils and methods of determining them, and apply the knowledge gained to analyse and design earthworks, simple foundations, retaining walls and slopes.
The author discusses and demonstrates contemporary ideas and methods of interpreting the physical and mechanical properties of soils for both fundamental knowledge and for practical applications.
The chapter presentation and content is informed by modern theories of how students learn:
Learning objectives inform students what knowledge and skills they are expected to gain from the chapter.
Definitions of Key Terms are given which students may not have encountered previously, or may have been understood in a different context.
Key Point summaries throughout emphasize the most important points in the material just read.
Practical Examples give students an opportunity to see how the prior and current principles are integrated to solve ‘real world’ problems.

This book on road traffic congestion in cities and suburbs describes congestion problems and shows how they can be relieved.
The first part (Chaps. 1–3) shows how congestion reflects transportation technologies and settlement patterns.
The second part (Chaps. 4–13) describes the causes, characteristics, and consequences of congestion.
The third part (Chaps. 14–23) presents various relief strategies—including supply adaptation and demand mitigation—for nonrecurring and recurring congestion.
The last part (Chap. 24) gives general guidelines for congestion relief and provides a general outlook for the future.
The book will be useful for a wide audience—including students, practitioners and researchers in a variety of professional endeavors: traffic engineers, transportation planners, public transport specialists, city planners, public administrators, and private enterprises that depend on transportation for their activities.
