The increasing need to redevelop land in urban areas has led to major development in the field of ground improvement, a process that is continuing and expanding.

Comprehensively updated in line with recent developments, each chapter is written by an acknowledged expert in the field.Ground Improvements is written for geotechnical and civil engineers, and for contractors working in grouting, ground improvement, piling and environmental engineering.
