Building on soft soils : design and construction of earth structures both on and into highly compressible subsoils of low bearing capacity.

A comprehensive practical manual covering all aspects of this field, this book covers everything from the pre-design stage up to, and including, the actual use (including maintenance) of the completed structures. Much attention is given to the calculation methods available for design and constructio...
