Abstract

Aiming to improve the calculation result of the total settlement of soft ground of seawall engineering in design, one seawall engineering case is enumerated, and the changes in the thickness of compressible stratum and the primary consolidation settlement are studied by considering the settlement as filling load. The results indicate that the thickness of compressible stratum is increased and the growth of the primary consolidation settlement is about 30% in contrast with the primary consolidation settlement only considering the design load. At last, this paper suggests that a designer should weaken the weight of settlement correction coefficient instead of strengthening the settlement as filling load in future design.
