DEFORMATION OF SOFT PEAT FOUNDATION UNDER EMBANKMENT--FROM THE OBSERVATION RESULTS AT NOBA

Areas ranked as extremely soft foundation, mainly consisting of peat or peaty soils, where the construction of a stable embankment may be impossible if any special method of stabilization of soft foundation soils is not introduced. Some areas embankments have been replaced by elevated bridges or other structures, while in other areas embankments are now under construction on stabilized foundation soils. Among these, the method of sand drain well has been widely in use, but it seems that this method may not be necessarily effective for every soil type.
