Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The most appropriate construction method to be used in a given project is associated with factors such as geotechnical characteristics of deposits, use of the area, construction deadlines and costs involved. Figure 1.1 presents some construction methods of embankments on soft soils. Some methods contemplate settlement control and others stability control, but most methods contemplate both issues. In the case of very soft soils, it is common to use geosynthetic reinforcement associated with most of the alternatives presented in Figure 1.1.
