Contemporary Topics in Ground Modification, Problem Soils, and Geo-Support

Proceedings of the International Foundation Congress and Equipment Expo held in Orlando, Florida, March 15-19, 2009. Sponsored by the Geo-Institute of ASCE; International Association of Foundation Drilling; Pile Driving Contractors Association.

This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 78 peer-reviewed papers covering technological advances, case histories, present challenges related to foundations, ground support, and earth retention.

Topics include:

• Earth-retaining structures
• Ground improvement
• Geosynthetics
• Pavements and subgrade issues
• Shallow foundations
• Landfill issues and foundations in waste
• Foundations in problem soils

GSP 187 will be invaluable to geotechnical professors and students, design engineers, contractors, geotechnologists, and others involved in geotechnical engineering.
