SOIL INVESTIGATIONS APPROPRIATE TO DESIGN: Soils with Special Characteristics.

Cambefort (1965) wrote of experiences with unusual soils and remarked: ‘‘There is no known ‘recipe.’ But the most dangerous thing is to think that the known formulas can explain everything. Only reasoned observation can lead to satisfactory results.’’ The observational method should always be used, particularly on major projects, and some engineers have employed this method extensively. The thesis is that not all the features of the behavior of a foundation can be predicted but that strengthening can be done if excessive movement is observed.

The following sections describe several of types of soil that can cause problems in construction and deserve special attention from the engineer.

Other sections of the book present methods of designing foundations for a number of soils noted below.
