Jet Grouting (eBook, PDF)

Technology, Design and Control

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Jet grouting is a highly versatile soil improvement technique which is currently used for many different purposes in civil engineering, for the construction of new facilities as well as for the improvement of existing ones. It provides static support for foundations, underpinning, earth retaining structures, and provisional support for tunneling, as well as waterproofing. The book examines technical issues, design methods, and control procedures for jet grouting treatments. Though primarily suited to professionals and practitioners, the book will also appeal to researchers and graduate students.

Rezensionen

"... one of the best available on such a specific and important topic. This book should prove useful for a range of readers, from those who need to understand the scientific bases for designing an adequate solution, to those who search for better knowledge of the technology itself."
-Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, January 2016

"Unlike similar titles providing general information on ground improvement, this book is entirely devoted to the role of jet grouting - its methods and equipment, as well as its applications."
-T&UC, September 2015


"The topics, which range from the description of jet grouting and its principles to the study of case histories, are well organized and presented in a reader-friendly way... and will surely [make the book] an invaluable tool not only for geotechnical engineers, but also for specialized contractors, who occasionally do not have a theoretical framework to carry out the design of the treatment."
--Oscar Alberto Vardé, President, the Argentine Engineering National Academy, Buenos Aires, Argentina

"... the authors have made a brave attempt in this book to demystify the practice of jet grouting. There appears to be significant detail associated with the technology used, the processes and the mechanisms induced in the ground. The text is clear and easily understandable. The figures are sufficiently simple to demonstrate the essential processes. The design process is dealt with in two chapters and should aim to bring greater confidence to the design of jet-grouted structures."
--Dr Caesar Merrifield, Senior Principal, Coffey Geotechnics, Ontario, Canada

"This book is exceptional in that it is all inclusive, comprehensive and even handed in its coverage."
--Donald A. Bruce, GEOSYSTEMS, L.P., Venetia, Pennsylvania
