The paper provides a quantitative assessment of the deflected mode of foundation stratum of finite width foundation, in the compressible thickness of which there is a slack clay soil layer. A number of criteria for assessing the possibility or impossibility of extruding a slack layer depending on its strength and rheological properties, as well as the relative thickness of the layer to its length (h/l) and the relative depth of the layer (h/d) have been given. Closed analytical solutions are given to determine the rate of Foundation precipitation depending on the rate of extrusion of the weak layer, including taking into account the damped and undamped creep. The analytical solutions in the article are supported by the graphical part made with the help of the Mathcad program. Plots of changes in shear stresses in the layer along the x axis at different distances from the axis and at different values 0, contours of horizontal displacement velocities in the weak layer at different distances from the x axis, plots of horizontal displacement velocities in the middle of the weak layer and plots of horizontal displacement velocities in the weak layer at different distances from the x axis are given. As a calculation model for describing the creep of a slack layer, rheological ones of the soil using power and hyperbolic functions and their modifications have been considered. In addition, most modern rheological models that take into account soil hardening during creep have been considered. Based on these models, the problem is solved by means analytical and numerical methods using the Mathcad PC and the PLAXIS PC according to the Soft Soil Creep model. The graphical part shows the isofields of horizontal displacements for 300 days and 600 days and the corresponding contours of horizontal displacements.

At the present stage of excavation design,the embedded depth of braced structure should meet the requirement of circular sliding stability when the bottom is soft soil. By increasing the embedded depth of support structure, the requirements of stability could be meet. In the normal design, the support structure must penetrate the soft soil layer when the bottom exist soft soil. While when the excavation is narrow and long, because of the obviously spatial effect, there is no need to determine the embedded depth based on the general circular sliding stability. In this paper, based on one the project example, calculate and analyze the similar stability using strength reduction method through the finite element software Plaxis and Midas.

In order to reduce the soft soil layer deformation due to pavement construction, equal preloading of pavement is usually adopted after embankment filling in soft ground region. But as the ground treatment effect of pile-supported and geosynthetic reinforced embankment is satisfactory with great load-carrying ability, the necessity of applying equal preload is worth discussing. Combined with the practice of Guangzhou-Sanshui expressway widening project, the settlements in surveying sections during the paving construction period in extension area were monitored. The monitoring data shows that pavement load had small influence on embankment settlement: the uneven settlement between newly widen and existing road is small and the post-construction settlements are controlled within the standard requirement. On the premise of guaranteeing the construction quality of composite-foundation and filling compaction degree, it is unnecessary to take equal preloading to avoid excessive embankment settlement caused by the pavement structure.

The amplification effects of shallow soft-surface layers with respect to an underlying hard-soil layer or rock are studied using data recorded from the 2011 Tohoku earthquake. Twenty-four sites have been studied with depths to rock ranging from 4–30 m. At each site, two records were available: one in rock at the bottom of the borehole at depths of 100–500 m and one on the surface of the soft-soil layer. Analyses of the soil-rock columns were conducted using the program SHAKE. Good agreement was found between calculated and recorded surface spectra, which demonstrated the reliability of SHAKE analyses for the sites under study. Therefore, SHAKE analyses were used to determine the outcrop motions at the top of rock. Amplification factors were determined by comparing characteristics of the surface and outcrop motions such as Fourier and response spectra. Computed amplification factors were correlated with V S30, V soil, and soft layer period, T = 4 H/ V soil. The results show clearly that the most reliable correlations for estimating the amplification of soft shallow surface layers less than 30 m are those based on V S30 and soft layer period, T.
