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.

The composite foundation with sparse piles to control settlement has been used to rapid construction and strict deformation of the structure widely currently, which can enhance the efficient of load transfer and decrease the differential settlement used with the geosynthetic. Considering the confine of analytical solution and the traditional method with a changeless modulus of geosynthetic and pile, the effects of the height of fill, the elastic modulus of geosynthetic and pile material on the differential settlement, embankment soil arching effect and tensioned membrane effect etc. are investigated using the computer code ABAQUS in this paper. The results indicate that the modulus of geosynthetic and pile has a notable influence on the differential settlement and the arching effect, which should be considered in the design. At the same time, the maximum tension in geosynthetic occurs near the edge of the pile cap.

Foundation Type

Embankments on soft ground often encounter many problems such as settlement, slip, and deformation that exceed the permitted limit. In recent years, a new type of foundation called "geosynthetic-reinforced pile-supported embankments" has been used. Until now, although the behavior of this foundation type has been analyzed and certain results have been presented in literature, calculation methods do not allow geotechnical engineers to calculate the results accurately. This study builds up a field experiment model to investigate the impacts of arching effects in the sand buffer layer on pile heads to increase the load transfer on the pile caps. The results indicate that the stress distribution on the pile cap is 10.48 times higher than the stress on the surrounding soft soil. Hence, the ground improvement method using piles and geosynthetic reinforcement can be applied to roadbeds and industrial warehouses on soft soil conditions, which helps to shorten the construction time compared to other ground treatment methods such as preloading, vacuum pumps, wick drains, etc.

Based on the experimental study of rotary filling piles with large diameter subjected to axial load in deep soft soil, the bearing capacity behavior and load transfer mechanism were discussed. Results show that in deep soft soil foundation, the super–long piles behave as end-bearing frictional piles. The exertion of the shaft resistance is not synchronized. The upper layer of soil is exerted prior to the lower part of soil. Meanwhile, the exertion of shaft resistance is prior to the tip resistance. For the different soil and the different depth of the same layer of soil, shaft resistance is different.

Rowe Cell

Soil consolidation testing using an oedometer and rowe cell. Oedometers are often used on clay and soft soils. However, in the development of the rowe cell device, the results of lowering soft soil were better than the oedometer. The advantage of this rowe cell is that it can determine the saturation value of the soil samples tested. The rowe cell tester can measure the pore water pressure at the beginning and end of each consolidation stage. This rowe cell can provide suitable settlement for soft soils. This consolidation test to obtain soil parameters such as Cv and Cc by using the rowe cell tool. After that, from the test results, the two tools were compared.

Embedded Development

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.

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.
