Geotechnical Aspects of Land Reclamation and Ground Improvement

Geotechnical Aspects of Land Reclamation and Ground Improvement is a practical reference that presents ground improvement techniques and their challenges which are commonly encountered by engineers working in the field in the context of land reclamation. In its unique approach, the book uses case histories to showcase solutions that have been applied to overcome the difficulties. Case histories include all kinds of ground investigation, in-situ testing and interpretation, geotechnical laboratory testing, material testing and quality control process, as well as land reclamation, ground improvement and retaining structures, and shore protection design. Environmental management and control to minimize the impact on the environment is also described, as well as new developments in the areas of geotechnical instrumentation and ground improvement techniques. With contributions by practitioners in industry who have been involved in land reclamation and ground improvement projects, as well as academics and researchers, Geotechnical Aspects of Land Reclamation and Ground Improvement is a much-needed resource for practicing geotechnical engineers, structural engineers, environmental engineers, and construction managers.
