Ground improvement is a very essential activity in geotechnical engineering when construction occurs in problematics soils and under difficult geotechnical conditions. The state of the practice for ground improvement technologies is ahead of theory. Most of the books on ground improvement focus on concept, application and case study and in a few books focus is on principles and design methods of ground improvement. This course will focus on both parts.

Intended audience: B Tech/BE Final year and M Tech/ME students

Prerequisites: Final year B Tech/BE students with knowledge of Soil Mechanics and Foundation engineering, any ME/M tech students
