Reseña del editor:
Fundamentos de Ingenieria Geotecnica es una combinacion concisa de los componentes esenciales de los principales textos de Braja M. Das, Principios de Ingenieria Geotecnica y Principios de Ingenieria de Cimentaciones. El texto incluye los conceptos fundamentales de mecanica de suelos, asi como tecnicas de cimentacion sin estar lleno de detalles y alternativas excesivos. Esta obra cuenta con una gran cantidad de ejemplos practicos, asi como figuras para ayudar a los estudiantes con la teoria y las habilidades de resolucion de problemas. Das mantiene el delicado equilibrio de la investigacion actual y practicas aplicaciones de campo que ha hecho sus libros lideres en esta area.
