Features: This book combines the technical requirements of the "Technical Specification for Ground Treatment in Building Foundations" (JGJ79-91) to introduce in detail the new ground treatment technologies currently used domestically and internationally, such as the sand-gravel (lime soil, fly ash, etc.) cushion method, dynamic compaction method, sand-gravel pile compaction method, vibroflotation method, dry-compact crushed stone pile method, cement-fly ash-polymer (CFRP) pile method, surcharge preloading method, vacuum preloading method, grouting method, high-pressure jet grouting method, deep mixing method, soil-jet mixing method, geosynthetics, reinforced earth, soil nail method, tree root piles, composite foundation theory, and underpinning technology. It also explains the reinforcement mechanisms, design, construction, and quality inspection of these various ground treatment methods. Typical engineering examples of different ground treatment methods and their applicable soil conditions are provided at the end of each chapter. This book is suitable for technical personnel in civil engineering and engineering geology fields engaged in exploration, design, and construction, as well as for students in these fields as teaching materials or reference materials.
