Settlement prediction in soft soil foundation engineering is a newer technique. Predicting soft soil settling has long been one of the most challenging techniques due to difficulties in soft soil engineering. To overcome these challenges, the wavelet neural network (WNN) is mostly used. So, after assessing its estimate performance, two elements, early parameter selection and system training techniques, are chosen to optimize the traditional WNN difficulties of readily convergence to the local infinitesimal point, low speed, and poor approximation performance. The number of hidden layer nodes is determined using a self-adaptive adjustment technique. The wavelet neural network (WNN) is coupled with the scaled conjugate gradient (SCG) to increase the feasibility and accuracy of the soft fundamental engineering settlement prediction model, and a better wavelet network for the soft ground engineering settlement prediction is suggested in this paper. Furthermore, we have proposed the technique of locating the early parameters based on autocorrelation. The settlement of three types of traditional soft foundation engineering, including metro tunnels, highways, and high-rise building foundations, has been predicted using our proposed model. The findings revealed that the model is superior to the backpropagation neural network and the standard WNN for solving problems of approximation performance. As a result, the model is acceptable for soft foundation engineering settlement prediction and has substantial project referential value.

The application of vacuum preloading for soft foundation treatment in grain storage is introduced from its principle，design，construction and the inspections. Its obvious effect is proved by example. The east coast of China is the most developed economical area and major grain and oil manufacturers. Many grain and oil depots have been established. However, in the places where the depots located, soil is soft dirt with low strength grade, high compressibility, small permeability and high possibility of plastic flow, has increased difficulties of grain and oil depots foundation construction. Without enough knowledge of soft soil and lacking of proper foundation construction method and good technology, depots may slip due to foundation’s erosion, and big settlement. If the structure slips, equipments for aeration, dehumidifier, antivirus equipment cannot work well. Based on the statement above, reasonable and effective methods for soft soil foundation work is the key point for construction of high quality and high standard grain and oil depots. This paper mainly discussed when we do depots construction work on the soft soil foundation, exact calculation, construction method and result test of fasten method for the soft foundation under the vacuum circumstance of preloading.

Marine soft soil foundation is a double-layer foundation structure with a crust layer and soft substratum. Moreover, it is common that there are various forms of drainage. Accordingly, based on Terzaghi’s consolidation theory and the continuous drainage boundary conditions theory of controllable drainage conditions, an improved double-layer soil consolidation theory considering continuous drainage boundary conditions was proposed. To improve the computational efficiency and accuracy, the Laplace transform and the Stehfest algorithm was used to deduce the numerical solution of the improved double-layer soil consolidation theory considering continuous drainage boundary conditions and to compile a computer program. Subsequently, the theory was validated and analyzed by the degenerated model of the perfectly permeable boundary conditions and the semi-permeable boundary conditions, respectively, which showed that this theory has higher accuracy. Simultaneously, the analysis of double-layer consolidation settlement under continuous drainage boundary conditions for marine soft soil foundation of Guangxi Binhai Highway was carried on. The result showed that the consolidation settlement calculated by the improved double-layer consolidation theory presented is basically consistent with the field measurement results, and that the correlation coefficient between them is higher. Accordingly, the research results can provide useful basic information for marine soft foundation engineering.

The soft base in the testing section of Jiang-zhu highwaysis 55 meters deep, and its mechanical property is not better than that of silt soil, the sand-wick drained length is one of the crucial factors for this highwaywhich influences the consolidation speed. Based on the characteristic of soft foundation, experiences and the interrelationship between the processing area and the subjacent bed effecting on draining, the mechanism of extra-long sand-wick for the extra-deep soft foundation is studied. The theoretical consolidation degree in the deep soft foundation treating with extra-long sand-wick drain had been calculated, the designed depth of sand-wick drain were 25 and 22 meters. Moreover, the total settlement will be predicted. According to the monitoring data of displacement and settlement during loading, the characteristic of consolidation settlement of the soft soil foundation had been analyzed. The results indicated that the settlement was very sensitive to the loading speed. The sedimentation became fast with the increasing loading. The sedimentation speed was always very high, which was 15 to 25mm/day on the average. During the prophase of pre-compaction, the consolidation degree of section K53+242.47 (h=25m) was up to 80% in 350 days, which was much faster than the section K53+402.47 (h=22m). Moreover, the soft soil foundation was consolidated stably according to the strict dynamic monitoring data. By using hyperbolic theory to analyze monitoring data, the predictive settlement value of post-project can meet the designed requirement. The treating effect of the 25m depth sand-wick drain was better than that of 22m, which provided available data for extra thick soft foundation treatment.

Stress state of soft soil foundation under vacuum preloading is completely different from its counterpart under surcharge preloading, and the method of calculating the final settlement of soil mass by means of surcharge preloading (positive pressure) is unreasonable in present design. According to a case of soft foundation stabilized with vacuum preloading and through consolidated-undrained triaxial (CU) test on the specimens sampled in situ, the stress paths under different confining pressure are obtained. The settlement of soft foundation treated with vacuum preloading is calculated by strain isoline method. Compared with the practically measured field data, the errors are analyzed and discussed.
