Ground Improvement

Site remediation, whether of brownfield sites or for completely new construction, is of increasing importance.

This strongly practical and established guide to ground improvement has been brought back up to date with a brand new chapter on techniques for ground decontamination, as well as development of the core material on compaction, grouting and soil mixing and related topics. An overview chapter sets the scene for the student or novice and the specialist chapters are written by acknowledged experts .

The book remains strongly international in scope and with application across the field: to tunnelling, excavation, building renovation or bearing capacity improvement and settlement reduction. It particularly suits geotechnical and civil engineers, and contractors working in grouting, ground improvement, piling and environmental engineering.
