N2  - Polymer Support Fluids in Civil Engineering provides the practising geotechnical or foundation engineer with an introduction to fluid-supported excavation processes, a brief history of the use of polymers in excavation support with discussion of past successes and importantly reasons for failures. It includes a specification for the use of polymer fluids and all the information necessary to optimise the use of these materials and the performance of the resulting foundation elements. Polymer Support Fluids in Civil Engineering covers all major aspects, from the fundamental material properties to site testing and case histories of polymer use. It is the first book to be published on polymer support fluids in the construction industry
