Abstract
The ground at a construction site is not always suitable for supporting structures such as buildings, bridges, highways and dams. In order to overcome this problem several methods have been employed worldwide to improve engineering characteristics of soils. The methods can be categorized as mechanical stabilization, chemical stabilization, thermal and electrical stabilization, or inclusion of materials such as geosynthetics into the soil or inclusion of rock bolt into rock. Surface protection also plays important role in preserving the soil characteristics against climate. The role of vegetation and tree on stabilizing soil, especially slope, has been studied. In the absence of tree, confinement system can be used to stabilize the topsoil against erosion. This book contains eight chapters and each chapter presents the research done by staff of Geotechnical Engineering Division of the Faculty of Civil Engineering UTM over the past decade on the topic of Ground Improvement and Stabilization.
