Journal ArticleDOI
Lime Columns—A New Foundation Method
Bengt B. Broms,Per Boman +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, columns manufactured in situ by mixing soft clay with unslaked lime are used as foundation for light structures to reduce settlements and to increase the bearing capacity of light structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil Sampling in Europe: State-of-the-Art
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed sampling methods used in Europe for onshore and offshore structures as well as the disturbance of the samples caused by drilling, sampling, stress release, transportation and storage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lateral Earth Pressure at Rest in Soft Clay
TL;DR: In this article, the lateral earth pressure at rest in a soft cohesive soil as determined by five different methods at Backebol, Sweden is compared and analyzed, and the agreement between the results using a thin earth pressure cell and a self-boring pressuremeter was satisfactory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Failure of Anchored Sheet Pile Walls
Bengt B. Broms,Håkan Stille +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the failure of anchors caused by the lateral expansion of the soil due to frost action has been observed, which can be prevented by increasing the driving depth, decreasing the slope of the anchors, or using steel H-piles instead of concrete piles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Closure of "Lateral Earth Pressure at Rest in Soft Clay"
TL;DR: In this paper, the lateral earth pressure at rest in a soft cohesive soil as determined by five different methods at Backebol, Sweden is compared and analyzed, and the agreement between the results using a thin earth pressure cell and a self-boring pressuremeter was satisfactory.
