Soft Soil Property And Handling In Xiaohu Island Area

There are soft soil foundations caused by different reasons in the coastal areas ofChina, such as Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Guangdong. When carry outengineering constructions, such as civil engineering, water conservancy, municipaltransport, in such foundations, the reinforcement of.soft soil foundation must take intoconsideration. Therefore, the strengthening of research on soft ground, the scientificselection of technologically feasible and economically reasonable solution on softground, both of them have a very important significance on investment-saving, landconservation, resource conservation and ensure the quality of the project.Embankments, sluice (pumping station) and other divisions of engineering inGuangzhou Xiaohu Island project are related to the problems of soft soils silt clay orsilt foundation. According to the project need, settlement prediction and stabilityanalysis for soft ground are needed. A reasonable choice of soft foundation treatmentplan will directly affect the amount of investment and the success of the whole project.But the choice of foundation treatment plan is closely related with the loadingconditions, geological conditions, construction conditions and using conditions. Byconsideration the characteristics of soft soil in Xiaohu Island, this article go into studyof the soft soil treatment in Xiaohu Island in the following content.(1) To summarize the common treatment of soft ground, to analysis thereinforcement mechanism and scope of soft ground treatment.(2) To have a comprehensive study on the characteristics of the soft soil of theXiaohu Island(3) To design the specific treatment program of soft ground.(4) To monitor the results of the soft ground treatment, to verify the rationality ofthe soft ground treatment.
