This book provides a review of problems during design and
construction on problematic soils. Design methods, site
investigation, construction and analysis of the various improvement
methods available are explained and discussed. Various regions may
have different soils with geotechnical problems that differ from
those faced in other regions. For example, in Southeast Asia, the
common geotechnical problems are those associated with construction
on soft clays and organic soils, while in the arid region of the
Middle East, problems are generally associated with the desert
soils. In the US, the problems are associated with organic soils,
expansive and collapsing soils, and shale. Laterite and lateritic
soils are especially problematic in Mexico. Similarly, in Europe,
for example, the geotechnical problems are associated with loess
(France), and organic soil (Germany). A detailed description of
various methods of ground improvement has been provided in 11
chapters. Each chapter deals not only with a description of the
method but also focuses on region-specific ground problems and
suitable ground improvement techniques. Case studies have also been
included. One general chapter is dedicated to site investigation,
instrumentation, assessment and control. This book will be of value
to students and professionals in the fields of civil and
geotechnical engineering, as well as to soil scientists and
engineering geologists.
