Book for Foundations and Retaining Structures

[Genuine_Opinion]

Hello everybody,

Any recommendation for a good book on 'Design of Foundation and Retaining Structures'. I need it while heading for SE-I & II examination in IL. The quick summary of the topics I am interested in are:

Design Coefficients, Soil profiles in selection of foundation systems, Overturning-Sliding and Bearing, Spread Footings, Combined footings/mat foundations, Piles (concrete, steel), Drilled Shaft/drilled pier/caisson, Gravity walls, Cantilever walls, Basement walls for buildings, Effect of loads placed adjacent to foundation etc.

I appreciate all those who respond or view this topic in advance.
