The first edition of the Compendium of Special Foundation Engineering has quickly become a standard reference work in the field of special foundation engineering methods and machinery technology. The ongoing developments and innovations in method and equipment technology in recent years prompted the release of a completely new technical book, the Compendium of Special Foundation Engineering.

Part 2 of the new Compendium of Special Foundation Engineering provides a detailed overview of current methods, equipment, application areas, and IT solutions for ground improvement. It offers an insight into the current state of technology and provides a comprehensive overview of various soil mixing methods, deep compaction, as well as drop weight compaction and impulse compaction. Numerous illustrative diagrams, high-quality renderings, and application photos complement the descriptive texts to facilitate understanding for readers. Information on technical specifications and the machine and application limits of special foundation engineering equipment rounds out the information needed for deployment planning.

The Compendium of Special Foundation Engineering is the result of collaboration between engineers and technicians from contracting companies and equipment manufacturers and is based on technical regulations, current construction methods, and extensive practical experience. It is intended as a resource for planning and execution and aims to help practitioners, authorities, engineering firms, and students expand and enhance their knowledge.
