Working Performance Analysis of Reinforced Gravel Cushion on Soft Subsoil

Article Preview

Abstract:

Model tests are performed to study the working properties of reinforced and non-reinforced gravel cushion on soft subsoil. The effects are analyzed of reinforced materials on the bearing characteristic of the cushion. The stress field and settlement field are studied through the method of numerical simulation. The results show that: The bearing capacity of foundation with cushion increases significantly when the cushion is reinforced. Under the same condition, the effect of geocell reinforcement is better than geogrid reinforcement. The value of coefficient of subgrade reaction increases when the cushion is reinforced. The reinforced materials can adjust the stress distribution and settlement distribution of the cushion.
