Reliability Design of Soft Soil Foundation Preloading Method for Airport Runway

Focusing on the rapid assessment of the reliability of airport runway soft soil foundation, taking the soft soil foundation preloading method as the research object, we established the corresponding settlement calculation model and studied the soil parameters and how they affect the settlement values, and the reliability of the soft soil foundation preloading method was obtained by the checking point method (JC). In order to realize the fast calculation of reliability, Visual Studio 2010 is used to design the visual reliability calculation program of the airport runway soft soil foundation preloading method. The analysis results showed that the soil index with the greatest influence on the final consolidation settlement was the compression coefficient, followed by the soil layer thickness, the compression modulus, the void ratio, and the consolidation coefficient. On the basis of the limit state equation, we got the final failure probability formula. Combined with an airport project example, the reliability calculation results showed that the longer the preloading time was, the more reliable the treatment plan was, and the less the probability of failure was; the larger the preloading pressure was, the more reliable the treatment plan was, and the less the probability of failure was. In the engineering example, it can be found that the treatment plan with the preloading of 100 kPa and the stacking time of 150 days is the best solution.
