The application of vacuum preloading for soft foundation treatment in grain storage is introduced from its principle,design,construction and the inspections. Its obvious effect is proved by example. The east coast of China is the most developed economical area and major grain and oil manufacturers. Many grain and oil depots have been established. However, in the places where the depots located, soil is soft dirt with low strength grade, high compressibility, small permeability and high possibility of plastic flow, has increased difficulties of grain and oil depots foundation construction. Without enough knowledge of soft soil and lacking of proper foundation construction method and good technology, depots may slip due to foundation’s erosion, and big settlement. If the structure slips, equipments for aeration, dehumidifier, antivirus equipment cannot work well. Based on the statement above, reasonable and effective methods for soft soil foundation work is the key point for construction of high quality and high standard grain and oil depots. This paper mainly discussed when we do depots construction work on the soft soil foundation, exact calculation, construction method and result test of fasten method for the soft foundation under the vacuum circumstance of preloading.

The application of vacuum preloading for soft foundation treatment in grain storage is introduced from its principle, design, construction and the inspections. Its obvious effect is proved by example. The vacuum preloading method can effectively improve the soft soil foundation’s physical and mechanical performance and increase the bearing capacity of soft soil of coastal areas. For the grain storage, oil depot especially for large reserves of oil depot project, the treatment effect is remarkable. It can be widely used in the ground treatment in the soft soil area for grain storage, oil depot construction.

Foam lightweight soil is a new type of material appearing in recent years, whose advantages are paid more and more attention to by engineers and it will have broad application prospect in the engineering. An in-depth study application of foam lightweight soil in the complex of railway soft soil foundation treatment what based on a railway foundation project in Tianjin, this paper discusses the actual application state of foam lightweight soil in handling of special railway soft soil foundation. Through in-depth analysis of the advantages of a foam lightweight soil, optimization of construction replacement thickness and moisture density, discussion on construction of it, we can find large advantages of foam lightweight soil as replacement material in the complex railway soft soil foundation treatment, and provide new ideas about processing complex soft foundation.

On the background of one railway freight yard in Xiao Yong railway , and firstly the use of thin-walled tubular pile is determined in railroad yard through the comparison with other methods in the soft foundation reinforcement. Secondly, the effect of the soft-soil foundation reinforcement combined with the numerical simulation and the measured data is analyzed. Finally, it is defined that the thin-walled tubular piles has good value in the treatment of the high-filling railway yard, and it also can provide a new method for the improvement of the soft subgrade in railway freight yard.

The soft base in the testing section of Jiang-zhu highwaysis 55 meters deep, and its mechanical property is not better than that of silt soil, the sand-wick drained length is one of the crucial factors for this highwaywhich influences the consolidation speed. Based on the characteristic of soft foundation, experiences and the interrelationship between the processing area and the subjacent bed effecting on draining, the mechanism of extra-long sand-wick for the extra-deep soft foundation is studied. The theoretical consolidation degree in the deep soft foundation treating with extra-long sand-wick drain had been calculated, the designed depth of sand-wick drain were 25 and 22 meters. Moreover, the total settlement will be predicted. According to the monitoring data of displacement and settlement during loading, the characteristic of consolidation settlement of the soft soil foundation had been analyzed. The results indicated that the settlement was very sensitive to the loading speed. The sedimentation became fast with the increasing loading. The sedimentation speed was always very high, which was 15 to 25mm/day on the average. During the prophase of pre-compaction, the consolidation degree of section K53+242.47 (h=25m) was up to 80% in 350 days, which was much faster than the section K53+402.47 (h=22m). Moreover, the soft soil foundation was consolidated stably according to the strict dynamic monitoring data. By using hyperbolic theory to analyze monitoring data, the predictive settlement value of post-project can meet the designed requirement. The treating effect of the 25m depth sand-wick drain was better than that of 22m, which provided available data for extra thick soft foundation treatment.

Stress state of soft soil foundation under vacuum preloading is completely different from its counterpart under surcharge preloading, and the method of calculating the final settlement of soil mass by means of surcharge preloading (positive pressure) is unreasonable in present design. According to a case of soft foundation stabilized with vacuum preloading and through consolidated-undrained triaxial (CU) test on the specimens sampled in situ, the stress paths under different confining pressure are obtained. The settlement of soft foundation treated with vacuum preloading is calculated by strain isoline method. Compared with the practically measured field data, the errors are analyzed and discussed.

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.

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.
