Ground Improvement Book Description

The increasing need to redevelop land in urban areas has led to major development in

the field of ground improvement, a process that is continuing and expanding. Vibratory

deep compaction and grouting techniques have also been increasingly applied to

solving the problems of urban development, whether from tunnelling, excavation,

building renovation or bearing capacity improvement and settlement reduction.The second edition of this well established book continues to provide an international

overview of the major techniques in use. Comprehensively updated in line with recent

developments, each chapter is written by an acknowledged expert in the field.

"Ground Improvements, Second Edition" is written for geotechnical and civil engineers,

and for contractors working in grouting, ground improvement, piling and environmental

engineering. Advanced students will find the book a valuable source of reference.

Advances in Ground Improvement Research to Practice in the United States and China:

Proceedings of the Us- China Workshop on Ground Improvement Technol (Geotechnical

Special Publication) Book Description

"Advances in Ground Improvement: Research to Practice in the United States and

China" contains 33 peer-reviewed technical papers presented at the U.S. - China

Workshop on Ground Improvement Technologies held in Orlando, Florida on March 14,

2009. The Geo-Institute of ASCE Soil Improvement Committee and the Chinese

Institution of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering jointly organized thisworkshop. This proceedings covers recent advances in research and practical

applications in ground improvement technologies, including column-supported

embankments, column technologies, ground modification, and accelerated

consolidation. Ground Improvement topics include: slope movement analysis and

stability; column-supported embankments; column technologies for ground

improvement; and Ground modification and accelerated consolidation. This publication

is extremely useful for researchers and engineers in geotechnical, structural, highway,

and railway engineering.

Ground Improvement: Case Histories Book Description

The first book of its kind, providing over thirty real-life case studies of ground

improvement projects selected by the worlds top experts in ground improvement fromaround the globe.

Volume 3 of the highly regarded Elsevier Geo-engineering book series coordinated by

the Series Editor: Professor John A Hudson FREng.

An extremely reader friendly chapter format.

Discusses wider economical and environmental issues facing scientists in the ground

improvement.

Ground improvement has been both a science and art, with significant developments

observed through ancient history. From the use of straw as blended infill with soils for

additional strength during the ancient Roman civilizations, and the use of elephants for

compaction of earth dams during the early Asian civilizations, the concepts of reinforcedearth with geosynthetics, use of electrokinetics and thermal modifications of soils have

come a long way. The use of large and stiff stone columns and subsequent sand drains

in the past has now been replaced by quicker to install and more effective prefabricated

vertical drains, which have also eliminated the need for more expensive soil

improvement methods.

The early selection and application of the most appropriate ground improvement

techniques can improve considerably not only the design and performance of

foundations and earth structures, including embankments, cut slopes, roads, railways

and tailings dams, but also result in their cost-effectiveness. Ground improvement works

have become increasingly challenging when more and more problematic soils andmarginal land have to be utilized for infrastructure development.

This edited compilation contains a collection ofChapters from invited experts in various

areas of ground improvement, who have illustrated the basic concepts and the

applications of different ground improvement techniques using real projects that they

have been involved in. The case histories from many countries ranging from Asia,

America, Australia and Europe are addressed.
