Abstract: This paper introduces the application of prestressed concrete pipe pile supported embankment over thick soft muck and mucky soils during the construction of Huanglan (west section) expressway. The pile installation started in February 2010 and completed in August 2010. The embankment construction was completed in January 2011. The settlement monitoring results indicated that the maximum post construction settlement was 220 mm. This settlement value is consistent with the predicted value during the design stage.

Key words: Prestressed concrete pipe pile, Thick muck and mucky soils, soft soil improvement
