  • Controlling Differential Settlement of Highway Soft Soil Subgrade

    A New Method and Its Engineering Applications

    by Hanhua Zhu, Zhijun Wu, Mengchong Chen, Yongli Zhao ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    Drawing on years of practical on-site experience, this book presents a new method for controlling "bridge-head bumping" in soft soil ground. Based on deformation compatibility and control theory of structure, it proposes strategies for improving the design method of soft soil ground and the effective "bridge-head bumping" control method. Soft soil ground is chiefly characterized by a large void ... Read more
