The present work illustrates a challenging example of design and construction of a quite important large underwater embankment on very soft soil. Throughout the design staged construction and ground improvement by deep mixing combined with geotextile reinforcement were proposed to assure the safety as well as allowable deformations of the construction. The outcome of monitoring excess pore water pressures and displacements during the construction shows that when taking account of key aspects of advanced soil stress-strain behavior, it is possible to appropriately model such complex problem and even to make rather simple attempts to reach some of the “type A” foundation behavior predictions. We may expect this work to be recognized as a valuable reference case history for the geotechnical engineer, both from the academic as well as from the practitioner’s point of view, in order to contribute to the art of building on soft soils.

This book is primarily concerned with the analysis and assessment of the behaviour of soft clay in compression and shearing, both in their undisturbed and strengthened states. Soft clay deposits are widespread and cover many coastal regions of the world, such as in Japan, Eastern Canada, Norway, Sweden and other Scandinavian countries, India, and the South East Asian countries. Another feature of these coastal regions is that certain shore areas are lowlands, quite often due to subsidence on account of excessive withdrawal of ground water. The Central Plain (Chao Phraya) of Thailand and Saga Bay in Southern Japan are some examples of lowland areas. All these are inhabited zones, having undergone extensive urbanization and industrialization. Further extensive developmental activities are apace in many lowland areas to promote human activities, such as agriculture, industry, housing and such other infrastructure facilities.

One student view about this book:
I studied a structural engineering in college & have no background in hydraulics, but somehow ended up in site-planning. My mentor left my firm & I was left on my own to struggle through drainage designs. This book has been a great complement to the guidelines & regulations I have, and has helped understand the theory behind all the computer based calculations I run.

The Fourth International Conference on Soft Soil Engineering provided an opportunity for geo-professional, geotechnical engineers, academic and researchers, to share their experiences and research results on soft soils.The Fourth International Conference on Soft Soil Engineering was held in Vancouver where there are soft soil problems since Vancouver is situated at the river delta of the Fraser River. Delegates from over 20 countries gathered in Hotel Vancouver between October 4 and 6, 2006 to discuss soft soils engineering. The conference dealt with many technical issues of soft soil engineering such as soft soil construction, ground behaviour of soft soils, numerical modeling, hazard mitigation and post hazard ground investigation and improvements. There were four keynote lectures given by leading professors/engineers from Canada, Germany, Australia and China who shared their research findings and experiences in dealing with soft soils.

This book is a result of a joined effort in the occasion of the retirement of Arnold Verruijt as professor at the Technical University Delft by the group of promovendi who completed their doctorate under his guidance in the past 30 years. It is divided in 5 chapters, areas of special interest of Arnold Verruijt: groundwater flow, consolidation, numerical methods, geodynamics and geostatics. Dr Arnold Verruijt is professor of soil mechanics since 1975, a beloved teacher, the first to received the Delft University Master Prize in 1994, and author of more than 100 technical papers and several educational books, which show all remarkable brightness and style. They are a pleasure to read.
