Abstract
A survey of the state-of-the-art of professional practice in controlling foundation settlements by precompression concludes that the use of this method for the support of shallow foundations is a relatively new, useful, and flexible tool for the soils engineer. Methods for accomplishing precompression and means for accelerating it are examined as well as analyses for eliminating post-construction primary consolidation and for reducing post-construction secondary compression. The scope of the use of the method and suggested areas for future use and study are presented.
