Foundation Engineering is of prime importance to undergraduate and postgraduate students of civil engineering as well as to practising engineers. For, there is no construction - be it buildings (government, commercial and residential), bridges, highways, or dams - that does not draw from the principles and application of this subject. Unlike many textbooks on Geotechnical Engineering that deal with both Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering, this text gives an exclusive treatment and an indepth analysis of Foundation Engineering. What distinguishes the text is that it not merely equips the students with the necessary knowledge for the course and examination, but provides a solid foundation for further practice in their profession later. In addition, as the book is based on the Codes prescribed by the Bureau of Indian Standards, students of Indian universities will find it particularly useful. The author is specialized in both Soil Mechanics and Structural Engineering; he studied Soil Mechanics under the guidance of Prof. Terzaghi and Prof. Casagrande of Harvard University - the pioneers of the subject. Similarly, he studied Structural Engineering under Prof. A.L.L. Baker of Imperial College, London, the pioneer of Limit State Design. These specializations coupled with over 50 years of teaching experience of the author make this text authoritative and exhaustive. Intended as a text for undergraduate (Civil Engineering) and postgraduate (Geotechnical Engineering and Structural Engineering) students, the book would also be found highly useful to practising engineers and young academics teaching the course.

Intended as a companion volume to the author's "limit state design of reinforced concrete" (published by prentice-hall of india), the second edition of this comprehensive and systematically organized text builds on the strength of the first edition, continuing to provide a clear and masterly exposition of the fundamentals of the theory of concrete design. The text meets the twin objective of catering to the needs of the postgraduate students of civil engineering and the needs of the practising civil engineers as it focuses also on the practices followed by the industry. This text, along with "limit state design", covers the entire design practice of revised code is456 (2000). In addition, it analyzes the procedures specified in many other bis codes such as those on winds, earthquakes, and ductile detailing.

Now in its second edition, this presents comprehensive coverage of the engineering properties and uses of the materials commonly used in building construction in India. Profusely illustrated with tables and diagrams, the book examines the basics of building materials and their specifications. As well as covering traditional building materials, the text also provides thorough coverage of modern materials.  The references to IS codes and standards make this text suitable for further study and field use. It includes a new section on durability of concrete; a modified section regarding the revision of IS 10262 (1982) code on concrete mix design to IS 10262 (2009); a new section on the classification of exposure conditions; and a new section relating to large advances made in concrete construction and repair chemicals. Chapter 20 has been completely updated, with a particular emphasis on the extensive use of aluminium in building construction.  The text is primarily intended for the students pursuing an undergraduate degree and diploma courses in civil engineering and architecture. It will also be useful for teachers and practising engineers.

Building Materials

This book, a companion volume to the author's book on "building materials", explains the basics of building construction practices in an accessible style. It discusses in detail every element of building construction from start to the finish - from site preparation to provision of services (such as water supply, drainage and electricity supply). Besides, the text describes acoustics and maintenance of buildings, which are important considerations in construction of buildings.this book is primarily designed as an introductory textbook for undergraduate students of civil engineering as well as those pursuing diploma courses in civil engineering and architecture. Practicing engineers and any person who has a keen interest in the construction and maintenance of his/her own building will also find the book very helpful.separate appendix is given to discuss earthquake-resistant design of buildings. Review questions provided at the end of each chapter enable the readers recapitulate the topics. The references to is codes and standards make the text suitable for further study and field use. Because of the lecture-based presentation of the subject, the text will be of considerable benefit for the young teachers for their classroom lectures.

The term Maintenance of a building refers to the work done for keeping an existing building in a condition where it can perform its intended functions. Usually, the buildings last only for 40 to 50 years in a good shape just because of regular inspection and maintenance that enable timely identification of deteriorated elements. Overlooked dilapidation, inadequate maintenance and lack of repair works may lead to limited life span of a building. This comprehensive book, striving to focus on the maintenance, repair & rehabilitation and minor works of a building, presents useful guidelines that acquaint the readers with the traditional as well as modern techniques for upkeeping and repairing of buildings already constructed.  Dexterously organised into five parts, this book in Part I deals with the maintenance of buildings. Description of the construction chemicals, concrete repair chemicals, special materials used for repair, and repair of various parts of a building is given in Part II. Strengthening of reinforced concrete members by shoring, underpinning, plate bonding, RC jacketing and FRP methods are explored in Part III, which also highlights rebuilding of RC slabs and protection of earth slopes. Part IV of the book exposes the reader to the minor works done in a building such as construction of compound walls, gates, waters sumps, house garage, relaying of floors, joining two adjacent rooms and so on. Part V is based on some allied topics involving control on termites and fungus in buildings as well as introduction of Vaastu Shastra and its main recommendations for a single house in a plot.  Using an engaging style, this book will prove to be a must-read for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of civil engineering as well as for the polytechnic and ITI diploma students. Besides, the book will also be of immense benefit to the technical professionals across the country.  KEY FEATURES* The text displays several figures to make the concepts clear.  * Chapter-end references make the text suitable for further study. * Appendices at the end of the text provide extra information on non-destructive field tests for survey of the condition of concrete buildings and rough estimation of the construction and maintenance costs of buildings.
