Sea Dike Thick Soft Soils Improved by Prefabricated Vertical Drains

Abstract

Abstract: The Prefabricated Vertical Drains (PVD) have received a wider application in improving thick soft soils in sea dike projects in Ningbo area. This paper presents the results of improving the thick soft soils in the Beilun Qixin Coastal Sea Dike Project. The results indicate that the insitu testing is an effective tool for the soft soil strengthening projects. The clay debris at the ground surface would affect the initial settlement of the improved soils. The PVD is an effective and efficient tool for the sea dike soil improvement.

Key words: Thick Soft Soils, Sea Dikes, Prefabricated Vertical Drains, Soil Improvement, Improvement Results
