Weak soil and treatment measures Embankment on weak soil is one of the common construction works. Up to now, in our country, embankment construction on weak soil is still an existing problem and a difficult problem for the builders, posing many complex issues that need to be seriously studied and handled, ensuring the stability and allowable settlement of the work.
Weak soil is soil that is not strong enough to bear the load, not durable enough and deformed a lot, so it is impossible to build works. Weak soil is a type of soil that is not able to support the structure above, so it sinks depending on the scale of the load above.
When constructing construction works that encounter weak soil, depending on the nature of the weak soil layer, the structural characteristics of the work, people use appropriate foundation treatment methods to increase the load-bearing capacity of the soil, reduce settlement, and ensure normal exploitation conditions for the work.
In construction practice, many structures have sunk and collapsed when built on weak ground due to the lack of effective treatment measures, and the inability to accurately assess the physical properties of the ground to provide a basis and propose appropriate foundation treatment solutions. This is an extremely difficult problem, requiring a close combination of scientific knowledge and practical experience to solve, minimizing incidents and damage to structures when built on weak ground.
