This practical and established guide to ground improvement, written by acknowledged experts, covers the major ground improvement techniques currently used worldwide and reflects recent improvements in productivity and control. The chapters are fully updated, including advancements in equipment and methods since the second edition. An introductory chapter widens the view with notes on the special techniques of ground freezing and compaction by blasting and on the emerging issue of the impact of improvement techniques on carbon emissions. The methods described are well illustrated with all new relevant case histories.

This timely book examines changes in soil properties and behaviour caused by short- and long-term stresses from anthropogenic activities and environmental forces. Introducing new concepts of soil behaviour, soil maturation, and soil functionality, it integrates soil physics, soil chemistry, and soil mechanics as vital factors in soil engineering. The book focuses on two key areas in environmental soil behaviour: the use of soil as an environmental tool for management and containment of toxic and hazardous waste materials, and the impact of ageing and weathering processes and soil contamination on the properties and behaviour of soils.

Rock Mechanics
Braja M. Das formerly at California State University, Sacramento, USA
An understanding of rock mechanics is fundamental to a number of civil engineering applications, including tunneling, foundation engineering, slope stabilization, and mining. Covering the principles of rock mechanics in a simple, accessible manner for those with little or no background, this book is the ideal introduction to the subject. Outlining the basis of rock mechanics and the relevant aspects of engineering geology, this text is an excellent starting point for advanced undergraduates and graduate students focusing on geotechnical, geological, and civil engineering.
