Abstract

Stone column reinforced composite foundation of highway under static and seismic load is simulated by numerical method. Fist, calculation model was built up, and verified by in situ test. Then the whole construction process of highway stone column reinforced composite foundation is simulated, after 3 years of traffic load, a seismic load was imposed on bottom of the model. Calculation result show that: in construction and run time period, drainage effect of stone column is significant, when pile length reached to 12m, maximum pore pressure in middle of stone column reduced to about 4 kPa, when pile length reached to 10m, effect of pile length on settlement is small; composite foundation has smaller maximum horizontal displacement in stone column; surface and toe of embankment slope is apt to liquefy under seismic load, stone column can eliminate liquefaction potential to a certain extent, especially in composite foundation range.
