Abstract

Proceedings of the GeoSupport Conference: Innovation and Cooperation in the Geo-Industry, held in Orlando, Florida, January 29-31, 2003. Sponsored by International Association of Foundation Drilling (ADSC); Geo-Institute of ASCE. This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 84 papers that analyze foundation systems used in a variety of civil engineering projects in different geologic settings with both soil and rock. Papers provide improved methods of construction and innovative solutions to save costs and time in construction. Case studies of real projects, methods of analyzing difficult earthworks and underground construction, and valuable guidelines are provided. Topics include: geosupport systems; drilled foundations; micropiles; grouting; deep mixing; anchors; and soil nailing.
