Building on fill: collapse compression on inundation (Scanned copy)

by J A Charles, K S Watts (01-Mar-1997)

Book Description

Please note that this is a scanned copy of a paper originally published in 1997, so the text is not as clear as in documents created as pdf files.

Compression collapse, which results from initial submersion of poorly compacted fills, is often the most serious hazard for buildings on fill. This paper presents a methodology for identifying and measuring collapse potential in fills. 12 pages.
