Applications of Drainage Consolidation Techniques Reinforcing the Foundation of Hydraulic Mud Fill

Abstract:

In recent years, using the hydraulic mud fill to carry out the reclamation construction actions has been an acceptable way to settle the contradiction between the scanty lands with the rapid industrial development in coastal regions. How to improve the ultra-soft foundation made of fresh hydraulic mud fill efficiently has been the crucial issue. This paper presents three reinforcement techniques in reclamation projects, and the applications are briefly introduced.
