Ground treatment of soft soil deposits by prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) is a common practice in geotechnical engineering. The PVDs accelerate the consolidation process and …
The bypass round the town of Queenborough on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent is constructed on soft alluvial clay up to 10 m deep. Where the bypass bridges an existing railway line the …
In the process of designing and building structures on soft soils, or when foundation distress or failure is encountered, the engineer needs to consider whether the soil properties can be …
