摘要
Although the settlement of ultra-soft clay improved by the vacuum preloading technique was large in land reclamation projects, usually exceeding the theoretical calculation value by a large amount, the strength increase was relatively small. As a result the foundation would not meet the design requirements for strength. So a test was conducted to investigate the effect and mechanism of long-term consolidation of ultra-soft clay in laboratory in a period of over 691 days. A preloading load of 80kPa was used in this drainage consolidation test. The test result showed that for the ultra-soft clay with a high initial water content but a small strength, the settlement is large with a large strength increase, but the shear strength was relatively low. These results should draw much attention in application of vacuum preloading technique in construction projects.
