Soil Deformation: Construction Interruptions and Settlement Assessment

This lecture covers soil deformation, construction interruptions, and settlement assessment in the context of soil mechanics and underground flows. Topics include the history of construction, settlement assessment of St. German village, oedometer tests for material parameters determination, and overconsolidation of soil. The instructor also references a book on soil mechanics and rock mechanics with underground flows and heat transfers. Case studies and field investigations are used to illustrate the concepts discussed.
