Copublished by ASCE Press and Thomas Telford. This book provides comprehensive guidelines for the filling of voids for both soft ground and rock tunnels and shafts. The underground construction industry will find these guidelines useful for minimizing misunderstandings related to backfilling and contact grouting terms and methods; improving the quality of contract documents related to backfilling and contact grouting and the in-place material; reducing costs and schedule time; and avoiding or minimizing potential claims. Coverage includes: geological conditions; structural and operational requirements on the completed facility; backfilling and contact grouting for various types of ground support and lining; grout material; grout properties; backfilling methods; backfill mix designs; contact grouting; equipment; record keeping; quality control; and contract documents. These guidelines were prepared by the AUA Technical Committee on Backfilling and Contact Grouting of Tunnels and Shafts. The committee includes a wide range of experts representing engineering firms, contactors, equipment and material suppliers, and consultants.

Proceedings of Geo-Denver 2007, New Peaks in Geotechnics, held in Denver, Colorado, February 18-21, 2007. Sponsored by the Geo-Institute of ASCE. This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 17 papers on the use of geosynthetics in earth structures by the construction industry. These papers present aspects related to recent advances in field and laboratory performance of geosynthetics as reinforcement and drainage materials. Topics include the characterization of geotextile voids; the interaction of geosynthetics with the surrounding soils; and construction aspects related to slopes, walls, and embankments on soft soils. Innovative approaches to design for efficient utilization of reinforcement capacity are presented.

Proceedings of a symposium on soil behavior and soft ground construction in honor of Charles C. Ladd, held in Boston, Massachusetts, October 5-6, 2001. Sponsored by the Geo-Institute of ASCE. This collection contains 12 papers on soil behavior and soft ground construction. Papers cover fundamental areas of soft ground mechanical behavior, geochemistry, and links between the two. In addition, several papers describe the state-of-the-practice, historical overviews, and case studies about soft ground construction. Topics include: soil physics and chemistry, mechanical properties, in situ measurement, and engineering applications. Charles C. (Chuck) Ladd, a professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has made his mark in engineering by influencing the understanding of difficult soils and the ability to engineer them.
