“GROUND IMPROVEMENT TECHNIQUES” 1. ABSTRACT: Ground improvement is the most imaginative field of geotechnical engineering. It is a field in which the engineer forces the ground to adopt the project’s requirements‚ by altering the natural state of the soil‚ instead of having to alter the design in response to the ground’s natural limitations. The results usually include saving in construction cost and reduction of implementation time. There are number

TERMS OF REFERENCE Mr L Neeson of the North Carolina Department of Transport requested this report. The report was needed to provide a progress update and likely outcomes on the investigation into an accident that took place on a bridge over Route 29 highway on 20th May 2000. Although privately owned‚ the bridge crosses a state highway and it is thus the responsibility of the North Carolina Department of Transport to ensure that a proper investigation into the accident is carried out. Mr. Neeson’s

FOUNDATION is the lowest supporting layer of a structure. * Purpose: Transfer the building load to the soil. * The size of the foundation is determined by the weight of the building and the load bearing capabilities of the soil. * When the load bearing capabilities of the soil is low‚ a footing is usually used. Types of Foundation 1. Shallows Foundations * Shallow foundations are those founded near to the finished ground surface; generally where the founding depth (Df) is less than
