Laboratory model test on foundation reinforcement by locating pile at both side of strip footing

Abstract

Using similarity theory as guidance, the paper designs the laboratory model test on foundation reinforcement by locating fly ash-lime pile and wheat-lime pile at both side of strip footing, and researches the destruction, foundation bearing capacity, p-s curve, in view of economic conditions at the rural area. The results show that the fly ash-lime pile and the wheat-lime pile can effectively improve the foundation bearing capacity, and reduce the amount of ground settlement; the yield point elongation, which appears in load-settlement curve of the wheat-lime pile, can be further improved foundation safety degree. © 2012 Springer-Verlag GmbH.
