"The motivation of the 2nd International Workshop on Geotechnics of Soft Soils in Glasgow, Scotland, which is organised by the AMGISS network, is to bring together practitioners and academics to discuss recent developments in soft soil modelling, focussing on ground improvement." "The aim of the EC-funded AMGISS Marie Curie Research Training Network (Advanced Modelling of Ground Improvement on Soft Soils) is to advance numerical modelling of ground improvement."--Preface.
