Ground Improvement Third Edition

Abstract

Ground improvement techniques continue to progress in addressing ground engineering problems across the world, particularly in urban areas where land development and reuse need to be eficient not only in the geotechnical engineering but in time, cost, and energy used. As well as in expanding markets, recent growth has also been seen across a range of methods, in increasing productivity due to investment in plant and equipment, and in improvement in technical performance and quality due to electronic monitoring and control methods. Ground improvement methods are also frequently able to demonstrate low carbon impact and excellent sustainability credentials as these issues become more important. The third edition of this well-known book provides a comprehensive overview of the major ground improvement techniques in use worldwide today. The chapters are fully updated with recent developments and have been written by recognised experts who bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to bear on their contributions. Ground Improvement is written for civil and geotechnical engineers and for contractors involved in piling and ground engineering of any kind. Advanced graduate and postgraduate civil engineering and geotechnical students will ind the book most helpful in guiding their studies.
