Gain a stronger foundation with optimal ground improvement

Before you break ground on a new structure, you need to analyze
the structure of the ground. Expert analysis and optimization of
the geo-materials on your site can mean the difference between a
lasting structure and a school in a sinkhole. Sometimes problematic
geology is expected because of the location, but other times it's
only unearthed once construction has begun. You need to be able to
quickly adapt your project plan to include an improvement to
unfavorable ground before the project can safely continue.


Principles and Practice of Ground Improvement is the only
comprehensive, up-to-date compendium of solutions to this critical
aspect of civil engineering. Dr. Jie Han, registered Professional
Engineer and preeminent voice in geotechnical engineering, is the
ultimate guide to the methods and best practices of ground
improvement. Han walks you through various ground improvement
solutions and provides theoretical and practical advice for
determining which technique fits each situation.



  • Follow examples to find solutions to complex problems

  • Complete homework problems to tackle issues that present
    themselves in the field

  • Study design procedures for each technique to simplify field
    implementation

  • Brush up on modern ground improvement technologies to keep
    abreast of all available options


Principles and Practice of Ground Improvement can be used
as a textbook, and includes Powerpoint slides for instructors. It's
also a handy field reference for contractors and installers who
actually implement plans. There are many ground improvement
solutions out there, but there is no single right answer to every
situation. Principles and Practice of Ground Improvement
will give you the information you need to analyze the problem, then
design and implement the best possible solution.
