Nptel: Ground Improvement Techniques - Video Course

This video course covers various ground improvement techniques used to treat soils that are unsuitable for supporting infrastructure projects. The course is divided into 7 modules that address methods such as compaction, drainage, admixture stabilization, grouting, and in-situ soil reinforcement. Specific techniques covered include shallow and deep compaction, dewatering, preloading, cement and lime columns, permeation grouting, soil nailing, and micro-piles. Case studies of real ground improvement projects are also examined. The course is intended for civil engineers and requires a background in soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering.

NPTEL Syllabus

Ground Improvement Techniques - Video course


COURSE OUTLINE The soils at construction sites are not always totally suitable for supporting physical infrastructure such as buildings, bridges, highways, tunnels and dams. Under these conditions, soil needs to be treated using ground improvement techniques. Similarly specific types of soil improvement techniques are required in the case of expansive soils and collapsible soil and in the case of earthquake prone areas. T h e course addresses various ground improvement techniques along with principles, design issues and construction procedures.
