- Abstract
- On August 19-21, 1991 a workshop sponsored by the National Science Foundation on Soil Improvement and Foundation Remediation with Emphasis on Seismic Hazards was held at the University of Washington in Seattle. The specific goals of the workshop were (1) to summarize the current state of knowledge concerning soil improvement and its applicability to foundation remediation for various geotechnical hazards, especially those which are earthquake-induced; (2) to identify current research needs in these areas; and (3) to recommend future directions for research on soil and foundation remediation.
