About this ebook
Geotechnical and Foundation Engineering Practice in Industrial Projects is a highly regarded reference book authored by Dr. Mihir B. Roy and published by Springer Nature. First published on January 2, 2024, the book bridges the gap between academic theory and real-world execution for both greenfield and brownfield heavy industrial developments. [1, 2, 3]
Core Technical Focus Areas
The text stands out because it focuses specifically on complex, heavy industrial structures—such as steel plants, thermal power stations, and marine terminals—rather than generic civil architecture. It provides actionable knowledge on: [1, 2]
- Site Characterization: Advanced geotechnical investigations and engineering geology specifically tailored to high-load environments. [, 2]
- Ground Modification: Complex site preparation, soil stabilization, and ground improvement techniques for soft, filled-up, or problematic soil profiles. [, 2]
- Deep Foundations: Design and detailing methodologies for pile foundations subjected to heavy static, dynamic, or cyclic equipment loads. [, 2]
- Risk & Hazard Management: Practical frameworks for simplified liquefaction potential assessment, seepage control, and erosion barriers. [, 2]
- Mining & Heavy Infrastructure: Specialized geotechnical insights into tailing storage management and ash pond designs at mine sites. [1]
- Forensic Engineering: Comprehensive case studies highlighting construction-phase failures, site hazards, and their structural remedies. [1]
Target Audience
The book is primarily written as a day-to-day guide for practicing civil engineers, geotechnical consultants, and EPC contractors. It also serves as an advanced supplementary text for post-graduate engineering students looking to understand the commercial and operational constraints of heavy industrial construction. [, 2]
