The papers presented in this volume describe the latest developments from around the world on ground improvement by densification and reinforcement. They describe new research into improving the understanding of the problems facing geotechnical engineers working in the field of ground improvement and the advances in the techniques available to them.
Numerous case studies show how new and improved methods have actually been applied over a wide variety of ground conditions.
