Publisher's Synopsis
Proceedings as presented at Geo-Odyssey held June 9-13, 2001 in Blacksburg, Virginia. (Geotechnical Special Publication No. 113). This proceedings, a collection of seventy technical papers, examines the practical uses of new foundation systems and ground improvement techniques. These papers reflect the state-of-the-art in geotechnical engineering across the spectrum, including: urban construction projects, such as the Boston Central Artery, the Woodrow Wilson Bridge Project in Virginia, and the I-15 Project in Salt Lake City; difficult geologic conditions, such as weathered rock, residual soil and karst; challenging situations requiring remediation and emergency response. Topics include urban construction problems; case histories; deep soil mixing, soil-cement columns, drilled shafts, micropiles and minipiles; jet grouting, compaction grouting, compensation grouting, and grouted soil properties; and soil admixtures.
