| dc.description | This report consists of seven Chapters. | en_US |
| dc.description | In Chapter 1, an introduction | en_US |
| dc.description | In Chapter 2, a review on the conventional fill materials adopted in reclamation projects is presented. Then a specific review is made on using marine deposits as fill material and its corresponding ground improvement methods. Following that, successful reclamation cases in other cities using dredged marine deposits (MD) are reviewed. | en_US |
| dc.description | In Chapter 3, a detailed introduction on the proposed reclamation approach and PolyU ground improvement method is presented, together with the laboratory validations of this method. | en_US |
| dc.description | In Chapter 4, the details of the field trial, including the layout, material, instrumentations, and implementation are introduced. | en_US |
| dc.description | In Chapter 5, test results and corresponding interpretations are presented. | en_US |
| dc.description | In Chapter 6, the settlement prediction and control methods are presented. A simple method for settlement prediction is presented. Then, ground improvement methods using prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) and surcharge, and MD mixed with cement and sustainable binders are introduced. Lastly, a cost comparison for different ground improvement methods is presented. | en_US |
| dc.description | In Chapter 7, the main conclusions are drawn from this study and are summarized. Recommendations for further work are suggested. | en_US |
