Abstract:Settlement observations are important means to verify the soft soil and guide the design and construction of ground. In this paper, field settlement observations and differential settlement after the soft soil treatment in the section of K42 +400~K42 +500 of Arongqi to Boketu highway have been analyzed. It is showed that settlement occurred mainly in filling period. Distribution of settlement along the base crosssection is uneven. It is verified after the treatment of sand cushion + geogrid, the transverse differential settlement can be reduced and the bearing capacity of foundationgood can be improved.
