Inside this Book – As is often the case in the history of techniques, experience preceded theory, the need created the tool. Before having effectively carried out heavy tamping on saturated clay soil, the Authors thought it was impossible to consolidate it satisfactorily. However it was observed that these materials settled instantly several tens of centimetres and then discovered that they contained micro-bubbles of gas rendering them compressible under the effect of dynamic forces. The process of liquefaction appeared to us as a disturbing and deterring phenomenon when first apparent on alluvial soil. Later we noted that radial fissures appeared around the points of impact, and that these played a major part in the accelerated dissipation of pore- water pressures and even encouraged the appearance of geysers at the surface.
