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 \u003cstrong\u003eGround Improvement\u003c\/strong\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe text provides an overview of the processes and the key geotechnical and design considerations as well as equipment needed for successful execution.
