Waste Utilization in Geotechnical Practice

Waste Utilization in Geotechnical Practice explores how various types of waste materials can be used effectively in geotechnical construction projects. This book discusses repurposing waste materials like construction debris and municipal waste for geotechnical projects. It includes the latest research and technologies in the field, including emerging approaches to waste utilization in geotechnical practices. Studies related to the potential utilization of waste materials in the geotechnical field for ground improvement are highlighted. This resource offers technical guidance for ground improvement technologies, focusing on converting marginal soil into various types of structures through soil stabilization, admixtures, and advanced testing methods.

This book covers topics such as the properties of different waste materials, the methods for testing and characterizing them, potential environmental impacts, and design considerations for incorporating waste materials into geotechnical structures. Additionally, the book discusses the economic and regulatory aspects of waste utilization in geotechnical practice, including the potential cost savings and the protocols governing the use of waste materials in construction projects. The book identifies the key elements of varieties of waste utilization methods in geotechniques and explains their role in improving engineering performance.
