The electro-osmosis-combined-preloading method is considered very promising in soft soil improvement, while the uncertainty function mechanism has hindered its practical application. To explore of combined method, experiments concerning single electro-osmosis and were carried out using reclaimed sludge. Macroscopic microscopic properties explored compared. Drainage, settlement, water content po...

Vacuum preloading combined with prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs) system has been widely used to improve the soft clay high water content. Clogging is usually formed around PVDs during vacuum preloading, impeding propagation of pressure and slowing down consolidation process. To understand forming mechanism clogging, particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique tracking (PTV) were adopted in m...

The paper presents a numerical calculation of the service life concrete structures considering effect chlorides in case material properties structural lightweight waste aggregate concrete. Different amounts fibres (0.0%, 1.0%, and 1.5%) different values compressive preloading (0%, 50%, 100% ultimate strength capacity-USC) were considered. subject research was comparison influence constant diffu...
