Design and Performance of Embankments on Very Soft Soils

A compilation of practical knowledge and new technologies, this book discusses all phases of design and construction processes, from the first investigation step to the monitoring of constructed work. It presents the development concepts necessary for the project stages and details the construction methods, displacement estimations, stability analyses, monitoring, and various other aspects involved.The authors highlight the application of geosynthetics as a tool to improve the stability of soft soils and embankments and include tables and practical data for many geographic areas.
