Analysis on Mesoscopic Dynamic of Soft Soil Foundation in the Pearl River Delta Region Based on the Vacuum Preloading Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

The behavior of particle migration on soft soil foundation in Pearl River Delta region is analyzed considering the mesoscopic dynamic with vacuum preloading method. The numerical predictions are compared with the fine particle data in terms of settlements, horizontal displacements and vacuum degree of horizontal preloading. The repercussions of including the displacements law of fine particles are also studied. It is found that the analysis considering displacements law results in consolidation by rose diagram of particle migration, which is related to the consolidation of the vacuum preloading of soft soil foundation in Pearl River Delta region. It is apparently inconsistent with the vacuum preloading of the drainage which results from the fine particles migration, but it is fully justified by the fact that the real soil consolidation coordinates corrected for rose diagram obtained.
