Analysis of the Culvert Foundation Settlement under Different Construction Methods in High Salinity Regions

Abstract:

In this paper, a key treatment technology of the culvert foundation is presented, which is on the high salt saturated fine sand in a new China local railway from XieTieshan to North Hobsonis. In the procedure，for the two kinds of culvert foundation treatment technology(gravel pile foundation and rubble replacement), the settlement laws of culvert under China-load are explored by comparing with the field observation data and numerical analysis conclusion. The results show that in saline soil area, using rubble fill to reinforce groundwork is a appropriate treatment technology for culvert foundation.
