PREDICTION OF GROUND CONDITION AND CONSOLIDATION PARAMETERS OF RECLAIMED GROUND WITH DREDGED CLAY

Abstract

In the design of ground improvement to accelerate the consolidation of reclaimed land with dredged clay, the profile and consolidation parameters of such a ground are necessary. In the case of rapid construction, as time from the completion of reclamation by dredged clay to ground surface treatment is too short, a usual method based on ground investigation cannot be used. In this study, the determination method of ground model which is composed of profile and consolidation parameters is proposed based on the reclamation analysis, and its applicability is confirmed by the case records of construction of New Kitakyushu airport.
