Settlement Coefficient Method for Soft Soil Reinforcement Design by Vacuum Preloading

Calculation of consolidation degree and prediction of settlement are the most important part in vacuum preloading reinforcement design.At present,the research on the degree of consolidation is relatively mature,but how to predict the settlement is rarely researched.Taking vacuum preloading reinforcement site of Shanghai Unicharm Production House for example,the method for prediction of settlement using settlement coefficient m is introduced in this paper,which is verified with good effect through monitoring.
