When finding another location, redesigning a structure, or removing
troublesome ground at a project site are not practical options,
prevailing ground conditions must be addressed. Improving the
ground-modifying its existing physical properties to enable
effective, economic, and safe construction-to achieve appropriate
engineering performance is an increasingly successful approach.
This third edition of Ground Improvement provides a comprehensive
overview of the major ground improvement techniques in use
worldwide today. Written by recognized experts who bring a wealth
of knowledge and experience to bear on their contributions, the
chapters are fully updated with recent developments including
advancements in equipment and methods since the last edition. The
text provides an overview of the processes and the key geotechnical
and design considerations as well as equipment needed for
successful execution. The methods described are well illustrated
with relevant case histories and include the following approaches:
Densification using deep vibro techniques or dynamic compaction
Consolidation employing deep fabricated drains and associated
methods Injection techniques, such as permeation and jet grouting,
soil fracture grouting, and compaction grouting New in-situ soil
mixing processes, including trench-mixing TRD and panel-mixing CSM
approaches The introductory chapter touches on the historical
development, health and safety, greenhouse gas emissions, and two
less common techniques: blasting and the only reversible process,
ground freezing. This practical and established guide provides
readers with a solid basis for understanding and further study of
the most widely used processes for ground improvement. It is
particularly relevant for civil and geotechnical engineers as well
as contractors involved in piling and ground engineering of any
kind. It would also be useful for advanced graduate and
postgraduate civil engineering and geotechnical students.
