Preface Ground improvement techniques continue to progress in addressing ground engineering problems across the world particularly in urban areas where land development and reuse need to be efficient not only in the geotechni- cal engineering but in time cost and energy used. As well as in expanding markets recent growth has also been seen across a range of methods in increasing productivity due to investment in plant and equipment and in improvement in technical performance and quality due to electronic moni- toring and control methods. Ground improvement methods are also fre- quently able to demonstrate low carbon impact and excellent sustainability credentials as these issues bee more important. The third edition of this well-known book provides a prehensive overview of the major ground improvement techniques in use worldwide today. The chapters are fully updated with recent developments and have been written by recognised experts who bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to bear on their contributions. Ground Improvement is written for civil and geotechnical engineers and for contractors involved in piling and ground engineering of any kind. Advanced graduate and postgraduate civil engineering and geotechnical students will find the book most helpful in guiding their studies.
