title = "Field test of thermal precompression",
abstract = "A new concept for improvement of soft ground using moderate heating to control post-construction settlement is presented. The long-term creep behavior of a peat is presented based on laboratory oedometer tests involving step-stress and step-temperature changes. Field evidence with regard to the effect of temperature on one-dimensional creep of peat deposits is given based on the performance of two test fills, one of which is equipped with a ground heating system. The feasibility of thermal precompression as a method of accelerating in situ settlement has been discussed.",
