Synopsis

Written by an international group of contributors, Ground Improvement Case Histories: Compaction, Grouting and Geosynthetics provides over 700 pages of international case-histories. Each case-history provides an overview of the specific technology followed by applications, with some cases offering a comprehensive back-analysis through numerical modelling. Specific case-histories include: The Use of Alternative and Improved Construction Materials and Geosynthetics in Pavements, Case Histories of Embankments on Soft Soils and Stabilisation with Geosynthetics, Ground Improvement with Geotextile Reinforcements, Use of Geosynthetics to aid Construction over Soft Soils and Soil Improvement and Foundation Systems with Encased Columns and Reinforced Bearing Layers.

  Compaction, Grouting and Geosynthetics

  Buddhima Indraratna, Professor Jian J Chu, and Cholachat Rujikiatkamjorn

  The only reference available that offers both state-of-the-art and traditional technologies, along with cost-effective solutions in the format of case histories.

  • Comprehensive analysis methods using numerical modelling methods

  • Features 26 Chapters covering over 700 pages of contributor generated case-histories from all over the world.

  • Offers field data and clear observations based on the practical aspects of the construction procedures and treatment effectiveness

  The real-life projects are more complicated than laboratory simulations. Researchers and Engineers need field data to calibrate and validate their computational models. Ground Improvement Case Histories: Compaction, Grouting and Geosyntheticsoffers elaborate descriptions of real-life studies, field data and first-hand observations based on the practical aspects of the design and construction procedures, as well as the effectiveness of soil treatment deployed worldwide.
