Ground Improvement (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

When finding another location, redesigning a structure, or removing troublesome ground at a project site are not practical options, prevailing ground conditions must be addressed. Improving the ground modifying its existing physical properties to enable effective, economic, and safe construction to achieve appropriate engineering performance is an
