Geotechnical Investigation and Improvement of Ground Conditions
covers practical information on ground improvement and site
investigation, considering rock properties and engineering geology
and its relation to construction. The book covers geotechnical
investigation for construction projects, including classic case
studies with geotechnical significance. Additional sections cover
soil compaction, soil stabilization, drainage and dewatering,
grouting methods, the stone column method, geotextiles, fabrics and
earth reinforcement, miscellaneous methods and tools for ground
improvement, geotechnical investigation for construction projects,
and forensic geotechnical engineering. Final sections present a
series of site-specific case studies.
Shear and compression wave velocities have been demonstrated to be
quite useful for determining basic engineering properties of the
soil mass by earlier researchers. To achieve this, resonant column,
cyclic triaxial and tortional shear tests have been employed.
However, these methods are not only quite elaborate and expensive
but require skilled manpower, are cumbersome and time consuming.
This calls for development of an alternate methodology that can be
employed for characterizing the soil mass, which is not very
intricate and is cost-effective. In this situation, usage of
piezoceramic elements seems to be a good option. With this in view,
an attempt has been made to develop a simple and cost-effective
methodology for measuring these parameters in different types of
soils, compacted to different compaction states. The suitability of
the methodology has been demonstrated for characterization of the
soil mass for engineering purpose.
