Cai Mep International Container Terminal was constructed 80 km southeast of Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam, where a thick and soft clay deposit was widely found from the top of the ground. To minimize consolidation settlement after construction, soil improvement by PVD was extensively applied. Sand filling including preload up to +11.8 mCD was required on the existing ground of +3.5 mCD. Stability of this sand filling on river side was the first concern in the construction work. According to soil investigation to study shear strength profile of the soft clay, original design of sand filling was revised to maintain stability of the filling on river side. This report presents the original and the revised design, as well as the results of soil investigation.
