Introduction

Ground Improvement Techniques for Sustainable Engineering explores modern methods for enhancing soil strength and stability, emphasizing sustainable solutions in geotechnical engineering. This comprehensive book addresses challenges such as weak soils, low bearing capacity, and settlement issues while aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It bridges traditional methods with cutting-edge advancements, providing an all-encompassing guide to ground improvement techniques.

Key topics include compaction, soil stabilization, lime soil, stone columns, preloading with vertical drains, geosynthetics, soil nailing, micropiles, and ground anchors. Theoretical insights are paired with practical applications and case studies to demonstrate how these methods support resilient infrastructure while promoting environmental stewardship.

Key Features:

  • - Coverage of classical and advanced ground improvement techniques.
  • - Integration of theoretical foundations, practical case studies, and innovative solutions.
  • - Focus on sustainability in geotechnical engineering practices.


Readership
