What is it about?

This research reported about the 1st experimental work related to the improvement of Tunis soft clay by vaccum consolidation. Previously, both on the research and practice levels Tunis soft clay was only improved by geodrains associated to preloading. Further, the paper compares between vacuum consolidation, geodrains and also the use of those two techniques in parallel.

Why is it important?

The important issue is to convine local practioneers to go for the vacuum technique which is not yet considered for the improvement of Tunis soft clay. Besides, the paper higlights the benefits of parallel use of geodrains and vacuum technique.
