| Summary: | <p>The report displays the characteristics of sedimentary environments,
consolidation and consolidation settlements of the late Pleistocene–Holocene
deposits in the Mekong Delta (MD) and Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Vietnam. The
report furthermore discusses the influences of sedimentary environments on
the consolidation properties and the resulting complex and large consolidation
settlements. They cause land subsidence and uneven settlements of
foundations in HCMC and the MD. They have especially combined with the
unsuitable plans, land use like land fill in the lower land, rivers and
ponds in the delta and increase in sea level by the global climatic change.
As a result, it is very difficult to improve waterlogged areas in HCMC and
the MD by the rain and tide waters. It is also not easy to propose a standard
strategy for the management, planning and construction of these areas.</p> |
