Embedding soft soil particles with high moisture content into miscellaneous fill with large pores under overlying loads is easy. It produces mutually embedded settlement, which is an important component of total foundation settlement during calculation. In this study, influences of interface friction on mutually embedded settlement, particle displacement, pore and contact characteristics, and mutually embedded development laws were analysed by using the particle flow method. Research results demonstrate that mutually embedded settlement decreases first and then stabilizes with the increase in contact friction factor and continuously attenuates with normal stiffness. Under the loads, particles at the contact surface move downward and squeeze surrounding particles laterally, thus causing particles to slide at the miscellaneous fill channel upward. Consequently, porosity of particles in miscellaneous fill channel increases. The force chain at the contact surface inclines around, while that at the miscellaneous fill channel presents approximately horizontal distribution. Compared with 35 and 45 mm particles, the mutually embedded settlement of 15 and 25 mm particles is slightly increased with loads. Particle size can relieve the influences of loads on mutual embedding. When particle size is larger than 25 mm, loads can significantly influence mutual embedding. Research conclusions can provide a reasonable theoretical foundation for calculating or predicting settlement of miscellaneous fill-soft soil composite foundation.

Two experimental areas in a highway soft soil ground treatment project in Guangdong Province were designed to investigate the improvement mechanism of geogrid-reinforced and pile-supported embankment(GRPS).The experimental results showed: In End-bearing Pile Area,the differential settlement between pile and soil was bigger than that of Floating Pile Area,so the bearing capacity of soil was exerted to a certain extent in Floating Pile Area. The bearing efficacy of soil below the pile cap was little, so the replacement ratio of composite foundation could be calculated according to the pile cap dimension. The load transfer efficacy of the geogrid was better than that of the soil arch. Five kinds of methods were used to evaluate the soil arch in the fill and it was indicated that the results calculated by the BS8006 method and Carlsson method was close to the experimental data which was smaller than results calculated by Hewlett method and Terzaghi method, bigger than Guido method. Through the analysis of the pile-soil stress ratio, the improvement mechanism of the two types of GRPS were revealed.

In order to analyze the characteristics of pile-soil stress ratio of the composite foundation of cement-soil mixing pile under flexible foundation, this paper points out the displacement mode of friction pile; According to the deformation characteristic of friction pile, ascertain the neutral point of composite foundation. And this paper also derives the exact formula about length-stress ratio which addresses the problem of soft soil foundation according to the deformation co-ordination conditions of the pile composite foundation. The calculation of actual example proves that the formula about pile-soil stress ratio is in accordance with actual measurement number. The pile-soil stress ratio which addresses the problem of soft soil foundation is generally between 2~4. If other conditions keep invariable, pile-soil stress ratio become big when cushion modulus become big. Cushion modulus effect the length-stress ratio greatly.

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite sheet piles are usually favored for slope and river-retaining structures due to their construction and environmental efficiency. Their applications, however, have been hindered by the lack of understanding of the bearing capacity. This paper studies the vertical and lateral bearing capacity of FRP composite sheet piles through three full-scale tests conducted in Haiyan, a soft soil site in the Yangtze River Delta of China. In the three tests, we measured the vertical bearing capacity of the FRP composite sheet piles, the bearing capacity of the composite foundation, and the lateral capacity of the FRP composite sheet piles, respectively. The test results show that the Q-S (load on the top of the pile versus settlement) curve of the FRP composite sheet piles exhibits a steep fall while that of the composite foundation is relatively flat. Moreover, the ultimate bearing capacity of the FRP composite sheet piles is measured to reach 23.8 kN while that of the composite foundation increases by 47.1 %, reaching 35.0 kN. It shows that the FRP composite sheet piles under the composite foundation have a favorable bearing performance. Finally, the final horizontal displacement of the FRP composite sheet pile in the reinforced area with anchoring the sheet pile is smaller than the final horizontal displacement in the nonreinforced area, indicating that the horizontal bearing capacity can be significantly improved by anchoring the sheet pile.

Layer Deformation

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.

SummaryA series of digestibility trials was conducted with non-lactating cows and adult castrated male sheep given diets of hay and dried or high-moisture maize grain in various physical forms. Sheep were able to digest all forms of maize well and to a greater extent than cows. In cows considerable variation in digestibility of maize was associated with the particle size of the maize and the individual animal. Maximum digestibility of dried maize in cows ensued when the modulus of fineness lay within the range 4·7–3·0 and with high moisture maize from 5·4 to 5·1. A study was made of the effect of particle size on the rate of digestion of maize suspended in nylon bags in the rumen. Evidence was presented showing the importance of rumination in ensuring the digestion of intact kernels. Possible causes of differences between cows in their ability to digest intact maize kernels are discussed.

A case of the long-short-pile composite foundation in liquefied soft soil under a 30-storey high-rise building is presented, in which the long and short piles are made of cement-flyash-gravel (CFG) and lime. A new design calculation method of bearing capacity and settlement of composite foundation is introduced, and the calculated value is compared with the actual measurement. The results show that the liquefaction of soft ground is eliminated and the demand of load and settlement for upper building is met. At the same time, it is proved that the design method is feasible.
