Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Building development increasingly takes place on waste fills because of the scarcity and cost of good building land. This report describes work to monitor field performance, particularly long-term settlement, to characterize fills, so assisting selection of foundation solutions.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 147-163).
Introduction -- Part A: Engineering behaviour of fills -- Fill formation and deposits in the UK -- Properties of fills -- Volume changes in fills -- Part B: Construction on fills -- Investigation and monitoring of fills -- Treatment of fills -- Foundation on fills -- Part C: Performance of fills: case histories.
