Use Of Local Clay Soils Of Increased Moisture Content In Embankments

New scientific and practical developments are presented on predicting the embankment settlement when using clay soils of increased moisture content. They deal with taking account of the influence of soil structure on character of its natural consolidation in the embankment construction as well as considering more fully the soil performance in structure. For the covering abstract see ITRD E135448.
