German term or phrase: Weichgelsohle

In a very brief summary of an approved method of construction "Verwendung von Weichgelsohle zur baugrubenumschliessung stellt zugelassenes Verfahren dar"

I have found a good definition of Weichgelsohle at http://www.bauwerk-verlag.de/baulexikon/index.shtml?WEICHGEL... but can anyone please tell me the correct technical term in English?

Many thanks.
