Dynamic compaction (DC) is one of the most popular methods for ground improvement. To solve the problem of the factors affecting the sandy soil improvement effect and estimate the effective improvement range under DC, the influences of drop number, drop energy, tamping distance, tamper radius, and drop momentum on the relative degree of improvement were investigated. Three normalized indicators Δδz,i, ΔδA,i, and ΔδU,i were derived to evaluate the weak zone and corresponding improvement effect. For multipoint tamping, it is found that the improvement depth and the improvement of the weak zone are highly correlated with drop energy and drop momentum, while the influence of the drop number and tamper radius is relatively smaller. The improvement of the weak zone and the improvement depth decrease with tamping distance, whereas the improvement area increases with tamping distance. The soil compacted by the previous impact point will be improved to a lesser extent with impact at subsequent impact points. It is also noted that drop energy had better not exceed the saturated drop energy in DC design. Based on the parametric study, a formula considering the various factors of DC was put forward, with the validation by two field cases of DC.

The results of experimental research are presented and discussed with focus on the ground improvement effect of slurry with different kinds of vertical drains under new vacuum conditions. In these conditions, horizontal sand cushion, which is requested in regular vacuum preloading method, is cancelled. Vertical drains are connected with sealed pipes, so the vacuum head can be transmitted into vertical drains without decreasing. For the experimental research, slurry taken from reclaimed soil zone is placed into six model casing boxes. Different kinds of vertical drains (prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) and sand drains) are installed into the soil with different spacing (0.4 m and 0.8 m). A vacuum pressure of 80 kPa was applied continuously for 90 days. The effect of filter type of PVD, type of vertical drain and drain spacing under new vacuum preloading condition to slurry soil improvement is examined. Test results show that this new vacuum preloading condition can transmit vacuum head into vertical drains efficiently and the effect of drain filter to slurry improvement is affected by the drain spacing.
