Gain a stronger foundation with optimal ground improvement
Before you break ground on a new structure, you need to analyze
the structure of the ground. Expert analysis and optimization of
the geo-materials on your site can mean the difference between a
lasting structure and a school in a sinkhole. Sometimes problematic
geology is expected because of the location, but other times it's
only unearthed once construction has begun. You need to be able to
quickly adapt your project plan to include an improvement to
unfavorable ground before the project can safely continue.
"Principles and Practice of Ground Improvement" is the only
comprehensive, up-to-date compendium of solutions to this critical
aspect of civil engineering. Dr. Jie Han, registered Professional
Engineer and preeminent voice in geotechnical engineering, is the
ultimate guide to the methods and best practices of ground
improvement. Han walks you through various ground improvement
solutions and provides theoretical and practical advice for
determining which technique fits each situation.Follow examples to
find solutions to complex problemsComplete homework problems to
tackle issues that present themselves in the fieldStudy design
procedures for each technique to simplify field implementationBrush
up on modern ground improvement technologies to keep abreast of all
available options
"Principles and Practice of Ground Improvement" can be used as a
textbook, and includes Powerpoint slides for instructors. It's also
a handy field reference for contractors and installers who actually
implement plans. There are many ground improvement solutions out
there, but there is no single right answer to every situation.
"Principles and Practice of Ground Improvement" will give you the
information you need to analyze the problem, then design and
implement the best possible solution.
