Case Study on Consolidation of Soft Foundation with Vacuum Preloading

Abstract:

Take the case of Huanghua 4th silo foundation treatment project, the paper discusses in detail the layout of instrument and equipment for soft ground consolidation with vacuum preloading construction and monitoring methods; and analyzes the observation results of the engineering practice. The practice has proved that by the vacuum preloading method, the consolidation time and cost can be shortened and lowered with obvious effect of reinforcement foundation.
