The construction of an embankment on clay can generate excess pore pressure in the clay, causing slope stability problems in the short term. For this reason, it’s important to evaluate the Factor of...
Read MoreConstruction of embankments on soft soil presents a challenge. Soft soil deposits have a high moisture content and a low permeability by nature. Furthermore, their behavior strongly depends on the ra...
Read MoreWhether in a recently reclaimed land or a densely populated area, excavating on soft and heterogeneous soil can make it challenging to understand the ground response. This highlights the importance o...
