Discussing the practical consequences of the choices made by engineers in these areas, the guide goes on to evaluate environmental, economic and life risk factors to provide essential information and practical advice those working in earthworks engineering today.This second edition delivers essential theoretical background to the compaction process and describes some commonly available fills, including industrial materials, both from the construction and the in-service viewpoints. The guide continues with a description of design, construction control and monitoring procedures for earth fills, noting the close links between them.
