Ground Improvement and Geosynthetics

Ground Improvement and Geosynthetics presents the most current research on ground improvement and geosynthetics. This Geotechnical Special Publication examines ground improvement, especially with regard to unstable ground soft soils, expansive soils, collapsible soils, reclaimed soils, contaminated soils and others. The papers in this volume analyze improvement methods including mechanical and hydraulic methods, chemical stabilization methods in both shallow and deep ground, and reinforcement methods using geosynthetics. These papers were presented at the GeoShanghai 2010 Conference, sponsored by the Geo-Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers, held in Shanghai, China, June 3 5, 2010.
