Ground Improvement Technologies and Case Histories
Editor(s): C. F. Leung, National University of Singapore, Singapore J. Chu, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore R. F. Shen, National University of Singapore, Singapore
This book inlcudes the keynote lectures written by international renowned researchers and specialists
which reflect the state-of-the-practice on the topics discussed on Ground Improvement
Technologies and Case Histories. It is heartening to note that 94 papers from 22 countries are
included in this book. These papers were selected after a rigorous review process and these
papers provides a platform for engineers and researchers to interact and exchange experience
on ground improvement technologies and share know-how from case histories.
This book covers the wide range of topics include:
Recent Development in Ground Improvement Technologies
Case Histories involving Major Infrastructure Projects
Design and Analytical Methods in Ground Improvement
Instrumentation and Monitoring in Ground Improvement
Variability/Quality Control Issues in Ground Improvement
Laboratory and Centrifuge Model Testing on Ground Improvement Studies, and
Case Studies on Ground Improvement.
