"Precompression for Improving Foundation Soils"
by Stanley J. Johnson, ASCE Journal of Soil Mechanics and Foundations, Vol.96, No. SM1, January, 1970
"Preloading for Heavy Industrial Installations"
by Panaghiotis C. Kotzias and Aris C. Stamatopoulos,

You will have to contact ASCE to see if they are still available.
Hope this is of some help!

I would like to propose 3 references which I remember right now:
1- "Advanced Soil Mechanics", Braja M. Dos.
It is mostly a text book but the preloading and the related (and important) part which is the theory of consolidation has been fairly well elaborated (as far as I remember). It is also recommended to refer to the discussion on the CU tests and ...It might have at least one example by which you may get more familiar with hand calculations of preloading under the load of an embankment which is carried out as a function of time (using superposition).
2- "Engineering Principles of Ground Modification", Manfred R. Hausman.
Not a very unique one but it presents the Asaoka's diagram which is helpful for improvement assesment.
3- "Improvement Techniques of Soft Ground in Subsiding ...?", Bergado and ...? (? means I don't remember the remainder!!!)
As far as I remember it focuses more on vertical drains.
However if you need more specific references, please let me know.
