RE: Fill ????
ASCE published a book of papers entitled "Placement and Improvement of Soils to Support Structures". In that publication there are two papers on preloading:
"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,
ASCE Journal of Soil Mechanics and Foundations, Vol.95, No. SM6, November, 1969
You will have to contact ASCE to see if they are still available.
Hope this is of some help!
