Written by an author with over 25 years of academic and field experience, Soil Improvement and Soil Modification Methods explains soil improvement technologies for the conversion of marginal soils into soils that will support all types of structures. Soil improvement is the alteration of any property of a soil to improve its engineering performance. Some type of soil improvement must occur at each construction site. This combined with rapid urbanization and industrial growth presents a huge dilemma to provide a solid structure at a competitive price.
The perfect guide for new or practicing engineers, this reference covers projects involving the stabilization of soils and soil mixtures, including the use of industrial wastes and by-products, commercially available soil mixes, conventional soil improvement techniques and soil test methods.

Land Modification refers to a multitude of techniques that improve the engineering properties of the soil being treated. The main properties of interest include shear strength, stiffness and permeability. Improvements to terrain modification have become a commonly used tool to support the foundations of a variety of structures. When a comprehensive plan is designed and executed, it includes allocations for the type of terrain being modified and the surrounding structures; It can save time and money.
