Improvement of Mechanical Properties of Soft Soils by Use of a Pre-Loading Embankment
A preloading embankment, and its foundation soil, have been closely monitored in the Po river delta (Italy). After showing that the complete consolidation of the peaty and clayey soil has taken place, the shear strength increase measured with various tests has been considered and analyzed.
