Three basic types of similar relationship between the prototype and the model for dynamic structural model test and dynamic destructive model test were proposed in corresponding literatures. At the time the situation where various similar relationships are applicable and the technique to ensure similarity for the different goal was discussed. Here the numerical simulation of model test of water-conveyance tunnel concerning fluid-structure interaction in soft soil is studied. Based on economy and practicability of selective material for model test, the similar relationship and the technique are proposed, which are validated through the example. The results of numerical simulation show: under the specific conditions, data of the model test can completely transfer to those of the prototype by use of this type of similar skill, and get more useful information. Some new ideas are introduced to keep the similarity of the hydro-structure structures.

Rowe Cell

Soil consolidation testing using an oedometer and rowe cell. Oedometers are often used on clay and soft soils. However, in the development of the rowe cell device, the results of lowering soft soil were better than the oedometer. The advantage of this rowe cell is that it can determine the saturation value of the soil samples tested. The rowe cell tester can measure the pore water pressure at the beginning and end of each consolidation stage. This rowe cell can provide suitable settlement for soft soils. This consolidation test to obtain soil parameters such as Cv and Cc by using the rowe cell tool. After that, from the test results, the two tools were compared.

Consolidation Degree

The artificial island ground on an open sea is covered by thick soft soil. It must be improved before using. In accordance with a designing scheme, the ground treatment method is inserting drain boards on land and jointed dewatering surcharge preloading, the residual settlement is not more than 30cm after improvement and the average consolidation degree is more than 85%. In order to estimate ground improvement effect and construction safety, instruments are buried to monitor the whole ground improving processes. By monitoring settlement and pore water pressure, it is shown that the total ground settlement in construction is 2234mm, its final settlement is 2464mm, and consolidation degree and residual settlement respectively satisfy requirements. In ground improvement, horizontal displacement is small and construction is safe. Meanwhile, the results of soil properties and vane shear strength detection tests show the soft soil ground is greatly reduced in water content and porosity ratio, and improved in strength. It is named that the ground improvement method is reasonable and reaches expected effect.

The EVP model is an available method to apply to the vertical settlement of soft soil consolidation calculation and analysis. Compared with Visco-Plasticity model, it shows more consistent with the actual stress conditions of the soil. In this paper, We have extracted soil samples in BinHai garden for assay. Then through the comparison with calculating results and a long-time engineering monitoring in BinHai garden soft soil area, a feasibility EVP model study on the vertical settlement in soft soil area is peoposed. Further a consequent sedimentation forecast was made according with the EVP model calculation. In the end, the settlement influence from creep was analyzed through one-dimensional consolidation theory.

Prefabricated Vertical Drain

Construction, buildings and infrastructure founded on soft clays are often affected by settlement problem. Therefore, Prefabricated Vertical Drain (PVD) is one of the best solutions to accelerate soil consolidation by shortening the drainage path. In this study, numerical investigation was carried out to pursue a better understanding of the consolidation behavior of soft clay improved with PVD. The consolidation process accelerated by PVD with surcharge of 50 kPa was analysed using the ABAQUS software by adopting an elastic model. The aim of this study is to compare the settlement and the required time to fully consolidate the soft soil at different drain spacings (1.0 m, 1.5 m and 2.0 m) for two different thickness of the clay layer. The results shows that the time required to completely consolidate the soft soil for 12 m and 20 m thickness of clay layer with different spacings are in the range of 3 months to 66 months. The settlement rate and excess pore water pressure dissipation are increased when the spacing of the drain closer.
