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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePrinciples and Practice of Ground Improvement\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFollow examples to find solutions to complex problems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eComplete homework problems to tackle issues that present themselves in the field\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStudy design procedures for each technique to simplify field implementation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBrush up on modern ground improvement technologies to keep abreast of all available options\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePrinciples and Practice of Ground Improvement\u003c\/i\u003e 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.
