Deformation Analysis in Soft Ground Improvement
This book deals with the behaviour of soft ground improved by some of the more common methods, including the installation of prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs), or the installation of soil-cement columns formed by deep mixing, or the preloading of soft

Preface
This book describes a variety of analytical and numerical models, based firmly on experimental evidence from observations made in both the laboratory and the field, which can be used in geotechnical engineering to make predictions of soil deformations arising from or associated with ground improvement techniques. The use of such techniques is becoming ever more popular in soft ground engineering. The deformations of the ground addressed in this work are often time-dependent and, given that soft soil behaviour can be highly non-linear, they are often difficult to estimate reliably. This volume was inspired by the work of many researchers, practitioners and authors who have made significant contributions to this important field of geotechnical engineering. In writing the book it was the intention of the authors to provide a state of the art and practice in this field, at least as they stand at the time of writing. Ground improvement technology and our analytical and numerical capabilities are advancing at such a pace that there is a significant risk that such a volume may date quickly. Nevertheless, the fundamental mechanics of the soft soils to be treated will remain the same. It is our ability to describe and model them more accurately and reliably that may change with time, along with the evolving technologies being developed to improve their mechanical beh
