Q3 Loess-Like Silt Bearing Capacity of Foundation Partition Statistical Analysis in the Shanxi Yuncheng

Abstract:

Currently it is still a lack of reliable evidences on the evaluation of the bearing capacity of foundation in highway construction of Shanxi Province. Mainly reason is that the method widely used to determine in bearing capacity of loess foundation in building structures is not completely suitable to length and wide range of highway subgrade project. Because Shanxi loess region terrain is very complex, the capacity of Q3 loess-like silt in Yuncheng of Shanxi is collected and analyzed, based on statistics of a large number of bearing capacity from site loading tect. A linear regression relationship is established between loess foundation bearing capacities and water content, liquid limit, void ratio. Another linear regression relationship is established between saturation and liquid limit void ratio . Meanwhile, it compares these two sets of linear regression relationship with the measured bearing capacity and the carrying capacity by specification. Applied result show that the relative errors of the bearing capacities computed by the formulas are less than 10%, compared with other standard methods to determine the loess bearing capacity. It is significantly improvement for meeting the requirements of the highway construction.
