Abstrait:

Prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) with staged riprap preloading have been widely used in soft soil ground improvement and embankment construction. However, ground treatment effectiveness evaluation is still a difficult problem due to multiple factors. Considering this, in situ monitoring and numerical simulation were conducted to study the deformation and strength characteristics of marine soft soil ground treated by PVD-assisted staged riprap under the Lingni Seawall construction in China. Monitoring and analysis of results showed that use of PVD-assisted staged riprap resulted in a good improvement effect. In particular, in the PVD-treated zone within 10 m in depth, corresponding to a half-length of the PVD, the average radial degree of consolidation reached up to 75–100%, and the soil strength increased significantly by 200–700%. Moreover, numerical simulation showed that the linear 1-dimensional drain element of PVD closely met the engineering accuracy requirements with good consistency with the monitoring data. Compared with a totally solid element model, the numbers of elements and nodes were reduced and the calculating efficiency and model accuracy were increased by using a PVD linear element, which provides a basis for building large complex finite element models.
