Design and Performance of Embankments on Very Soft Soils

Autor Márcio de Souza S. Almeida, Maria Esther Soares Marques
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 feb 2018
Embankment construction projects on very soft soil often give rise to serious problems. This volume on geotechnics and soft soil engineering therefore treats all phases of the design and construction process exhaustively, from the first investigation step to the monitoring of constructed work. The book presents the development concepts necessary for the project stages and discusses in great detail construction methods, displacement estimations, stability analyses, monitoring, and various other aspects involved. Extensive attention is furthermore paid to the application of geosynthetics as a tool to improve the stability of soft soils and embankments. Including various tables and practical data for many geographical areas in the world, this reference volume is essential reading for engineers and researchers in geotechnical engineering, construction, and related disciplines.

Recenzii

Even if it is an important topic in geotechnical engineering, embankments on soft or very soft soils have been the subject of few books and, to my knowledge, none recently published. This book “Design and Performance of Embankments on Very Soft Soils” is thus very welcome.
The authors […] have an excellent knowledge of advanced soil mechanics and of new technologies for both characterizing soft soil deposits and solving settlement or stability problems, as well as field monitoring and interpretation. The book reflects this state-of-the-art knowledge. Soils are described using modern concepts of yielding and yield curves; sampling quality is considered; the use and interpretation of DMT, T-bar and piezocone soundings are described. Technologies for reducing and/or accelerating settlements and for improving stability are also described.
With this book in English, in addition to the general technical aspects previously mentioned, Professors Márcio Almeida and Esther Marques offer the geotechnical community the remarkable and unique Brazilian experience with embankments on very soft organic soils.
