Geotechnics of Soft Soils: Focus on Ground Improvement

This volume is a collection of papers from the Second International Workshop on Geotechnics of Soft Soils, which was organized by the AMGISS network. It discusses the state-of-the-art in soft soil modeling and design, emphasizing ground improvement applications. With contributions from academia and industry, the book covers different types of modeling, including constitutive, numerical, and physical; design and application (focusing mainly on embankments and foundations); and ground improvement, with sections on preloading and consolidation methods, column methods, piles and micropiles, and other ground improvement techniques.
