Résumé :

• practically oriented reference volume on soft soil engineering
• contains case studies of soft soil techniques from all over the world

New Techniques on Soft Soils covers a wide range of updated techniques on several topics, such as site investigation, vertical drains, surcharge, piled embankment, granular piles, deep mixing, monitoring and performance. An essential reference for designers and practitioners involved in soft soil construction, it provides a comprehensive view of current experiences and opinions of researchers and professionals from different parts of the world involving site investigation, design and construction on soft clays. This book presents a collection of selected expert contributions on innovations in soft soil engineering, that were presented at the Symposium on New Techniques for Design and Construction in Soft Clays held in GuarujA, Brazil, between 22 and 23 May 2010.
