Ground Improvement Case Histories Chemical, Electrokinetic, Thermal and Bioengineering Methods Buddhima Indraratna, Professor Jian J Chu, and Cholachat Rujikiatkamjorn The most up-to-date reference that offers both state-of-the-art and traditional technologies along with cost-effective solutions in the format of case histories. Case-histories include: Effect of Drainage and Grouting for the World Longest Seikan Undersea Tunnel Construction, Cement/lime mixing ground improvement for road construction on soft ground Features 22 Chapters covering over 700 pages of international case-histories supported by an abundance of illustrations and worked out equations Chemical, Electrokinetic, Thermal and Bioengineering Methods provides a full range of Chemical, Electrokinetic, Thermal and Bioengineering ground improvement techniques; the principles behind how the techniques 'work', for which soils they are appropriate and how they are installed or constructed. Where relevant, the principles of design or construction procedures are introduced. The specific technology followed by applications, and in some cases comprehensive back-analysis through numerical modelling is included. Written by an international group of experts, this Book provides over 700 pages of case-histories collected from all over the world. Each case-history provides an overview of the specific technology followed by applications, and in some cases, comprehensive back analysis through numerical modelling is discussed. The book includes methods for employing bacterial and biological treatment, and native vegetation for stabilizing problematic soils. Specific case-histories included in the book are: Effect of Drainage and Grouting for the World Longest Seikan Undersea Tunnel Construction, Cement/lime Mixing Ground Improvement for Road Construction on Soft Ground, Use of Jet Grouting in Deep Excavations, and Stabilization of Reactive Sulphide Mine Tailings using Water Cover Technology.
