Abstract

The use of fill materials other than soils for embankments, particularly over soft foundations, is becoming increasingly common. The 10 papers in this Record contribute information on the findings of engineers having experience with the use of such materials. The papers are grouped into two broad categories: lightweight artificial materials and lightweight waste materials fabricated to address special problems in design and construction. The latter category treats the techniques of using materials that normally end up in a landfill as materials of construction, thereby solving some of society's waste problems.
