Excavations and Foundations in Soft Soils

Focusing on the complexities of soft soil engineering, this book provides valuable insights for both practicing and research engineers. It addresses the challenges of planning, designing, and constructing foundations in soft to very soft soils, incorporating the authors' research and practical project experiences. The text includes case studies, detailed analysis of soil parameters for finite element modeling, and is richly illustrated with photographs and diagrams. The authors aim to present a comprehensive overview of material properties and stabilization methods, challenging the perception that soft soils always lead to costly projects.
