Executive Summary | In the construction of port facilities such as breakwaters or revetments, normally consolidated alluvial clay deposits often found in Japanese coastal area raise difficult problems both of stability and residual settlement. One of the solution for these problems is the deep improvement by means of sand compaction pile method. The authors carried out an extensive study on the bearing capacity of the improved ground by scaled model tests and elasto-visco-plastic finite element analysis. |
