Abstract: The soft cohesive soil in Southwest Shandong Province has characteristics of low strength and high compressibility. It is critically important to accurately evaluate its strength and deformation properties for the engineered structures and facilities. This paper presents a soft soil bearing capacity and shear strength evaluation case history of a high voltage power transmission line project over Shandong Southwest soft cohesive soil areas. Different testing and evaluation method were used in the investigation and the appropriate bearing capacity values were recommended.

Key words: Soft Cohesive Soils, Bearing Capacity, Recommended Value, Load Carrying Layer
