Pile-soil stress ratio is defined as the average stress ratio of the head of pile to the soil around of piles, which is a very important indicator to reflect the level of the together-work of pile and the soil, also a major parameter of calculation of capacity of composite foundation and settlement. How to choose pile-soil stress ratio is still a problem unsolved. Bearing performance of the DJM pile composite foundation is studied by way of field static load tests and pile-soil stress ratio tests. This paper is to analyze the bearing performance of the DJM pile composite foundation in the Yellow River Delta region with the plane strain finite element method and gain the load-sharing ability of soil and regulations of pile-soil stress ratio with the changes of effecting factors.

In this paper, a simplified column construction method — the so-called grouted gravel column — and its application to construction of embankments over soft ground are introduced. The construction method, quality assurance (QA), and quality control (QC) of the grouted gravel columns are described. A case study on the application of this method to a highway embankment in China is also presented. The case study shows that about 50% of surface settlement and 60% of the differential settlement between the column head and soil occurred during the construction of the embankment. The column to soil stress ratio was 8.0 for columns with caps and 4.2 for columns without caps. Static load tests were also conducted to assess the bearing capacity of the columns.

The silty seabed in the Yellow River Delta (YRD) is exposed to deposition, liquefaction, and reconsolidation repeatedly, during which seepage flows are crucial to the seabed strength. In extreme cases, seepage flows could cause seepage failure (SF) in the seabed, endangering the offshore structures. A critical condition exists for the occurrence of SF, i.e., the critical hydraulic gradient (icr). Compared with cohesionless sands, the icr of cohesive sediments is more complex, and no universal evaluation theory is available yet. The present work first improved a self-designed annular flume to avoid SF along the sidewall, then simulated the SF process of the seabed with different consolidation times in order to explore the icr of newly deposited silty seabed in the YRD. It is found that the theoretical formula for icr of cohesionless soil grossly underestimated the icr of cohesive soil. The icr range of silty seabed in the YRD was 8–16, which was significantly affected by the cohesion and was inversely proportional to the seabed fluidization degree. SF could “pump” the sediments vertically from the interior of the seabed with a contribution to sediment resuspension of up to 93.2–96.8%. The higher the consolidation degree, the smaller the contribution will be.
