N2  - This textbook is intended to present the currently accepted theories, design principles and practices of soil mechanics and foundation engineering. The assumptions and limitations used in developing a theory or a method are pointed out and sufficient number of examples and practice problems are included to illustrate the application of basic principles of practical problems. The text provides sufficient material, ranging from the simple to very complex, for the undergraduate and postgraduate courses in the subject of soil engineering in the engineering colleges, universities and professional examinations in India. The book should also prove a useful design aid for the practising engineer and a convenient reference source
