معرفی کتاب Principles and Practices of Ground Improvement
With civilization and urbanization, there have been increased demands for the use of land for better living and transportation. More and more houses, commercial buildings, high-rise office buildings, highways, railways, tunnels, levees, and earth dams have been constructed and will be continuously built in the future. As suitable constrsuction sites with favorable geotechnical conditions become less available, the need to utilize unsuitable or less suitable sites for construction increases. Engineers have faced increased geotechnical problems and challenges, such as bearing failure, large total and differential settlements, instability, liquefaction, erosion, and water seepage. The options to deal with problematic geomaterials and geotechnical conditions include: (1) avoiding the site, (2) designing superstructures accordingly, (3) removing and replacing problematic geomaterials with better and non-problematic geomaterials and (4) improving geomaterial properties and geotechnical conditions (Hausmann, 1990). It becomes increasingly necessary to improve geomaterials and geotechnical conditions for many projects.
