Abstract: This paper presents a case history of the soft soil improvement design for the Dayaowan Northern Shore container terminal. After a thorough review of the site condition information, both hand calculations and numerical analysis were performed on the proposed container yard. The bearing capacity of the surface soils, resilient modulus and the post construction settlement after the soil improvement are estimated. The design parameters for this project are recommended.
