An Introduction to Geotechnical Processes

<P>The study of the solid part of the earth on which structures are built is an essential part of the training of a civil engineer. Geotechnical processes such as drilling, pumping and injection techniques enhance the viability of many construction processes by improving ground conditions.</P><P>Highlighting the ground investigation necessary for the process, the likely improvement in strength of treated ground and testing methods <EM>An Introduction to Geotechnical Processes</EM> covers the elements of ground treatment and improvement, from the control of groundwater, drilling and grouting to ground anchors and electro-chemical hardening.</P>
