Uneven settlement widely occurs on the roadbed under urban viaducts in operation. Previous studies focused on the effect of soft soil foundation on the uneven settlement of roadbed, without considering the phenomenon and mechanism of uneven settlement at the junction of pier cap and the roadbed under viaduct. The interaction is now considered between the buried depth of cap, the relative stiffness between cap and road subgrade, and the uneven settlement of roadbed. Using the Midas GTS NX software, a numerical analysis model of the deformation of roadbed under viaduct is constructed to study the influence of viaduct cap foundation on the uneven settlement of roadbed under viaduct. The simulated results of uneven settlement of roadbed caused by urban viaduct pier cap show that (1) when the buried depth of cap exceeds 2.35 m, with the increase of buried depth, the fall of roadbed settlement tends to decrease, but the decreased amount is not significant. Considering the factors such as construction cost and complications of construction technology, it is suggested that the best buried depth of cap is about 2.5 m. (2) The fall of roadbed settlement decreases with the decrease of relative stiffness between cap and roadbed. When the relative stiffness exceeds 6.3, the decreasing trend of settlement fall is not significant. The concrete roadbed should have more stiffness in order to reduce the settlement.

Highway is an important channel to connect regional economic development, and is an indispensable part of modern transportation system. In view of the extensive nature of highway cover space and the existence of diversified construction environment, climate and geological influence in highway construction, soft soil foundation is one of the more typical geological forms. With wide distribution in our country, seen as a big difficulty, highway construction technology and directly affect the quality of highway construction, cost, if not properly handled, will cause the soft soil foundation highway engineering structure is not stable, prone to accidents in use. In this paper, we study the treatment of soft soil foundation in highway construction, and put forward some reasonable Suggestions.

The problem of disposing the soft soil foundation will appear inevitably during the construction of modem high way. There are many ways to dispose the soft foundation. One of those is CFG pile technology. Take the CFG pile technology in the GuangWu Expressway for example, the influence factors of embankment settlement were discussed in detai by numerical analysis, some useful conclusions are obtained from the computational results.

Prebored precast pile with an enlarged base (PPEB pile) is a new type of green and environmental protection pile foundation developed in China in recent years, which has complex bearing characteristics and many influencing factors. Based on the static load tests and key parameters’ tests in deep soft soil in Shanghai, a three-dimensional numerical analysis model was established using ABAQUS finite element software. The transfer law of load among the precast pile, cement soil, and soil around the pile and the action mechanism of the enlarged base were analyzed emphatically, and a sensitivity analysis of the main factors affecting the bearing performance was carried out. The calculation results show that the existence of the enlarged base can greatly improve the compressive bearing capacity, increasing the diameter and height of the enlarged base is beneficial to the bearing capacity, and the influence of the diameter expansion ratio is more effective. With the increase of the proportion of nodular piles, the ultimate bearing capacity increases slightly, but the deformation increases obviously. Under the condition of cement soil of the test piles, the spacing of the neighboring nodules of nodular piles has no obvious effect on the bearing capacity, and the 1 m spacing commonly used in engineering applications can be optimized. The increase of cement soil thickness is beneficial to the improvement of pile bearing capacity, but the efficiency is low. Finally, some improvement measures for the construction technology of the PPEB pile were put forward.

On the basis of engineering project using underwater vacuum preloading method to strengthening the soft foundation, under the specific geological conditionsthis article analyzes the construction technology and reinforcement mechanism of underwater vacuum preloading of the soft soil foundation. By indoor soil test of Reinforcement of soil before and after processing, compared the change and improve of soil shear strength indexes before and after the reinforcement, it is verified that the underwater vacuum preloading method is a effective mean in handing soft ground, and can be further promoted as a means of handling soft ground along the coastal area of China.
