Abstract:The design method of electroosmosis combined with vacuum preloading to treat soft soil foundation is still not systematic and comprehensive enough, which limits the application of this technology in engineering. For the design of electroosmosis combined with vacuum preloading treatment for the sand-interlayered soft soil foundation, the design method of compressible drainage electrode, the design method of power source and power supply circuit, the design method of vacuum sealed and drainage system, and the prediction method of construction period and settlement are proposed. The specific calculation formula of ground resistance of sand-interlayered foundation and the calculation formula of excess pore pressure for voltage conversion in finite element simulation are given. The study result provides a complete set of design method for the electroosmosis combined with vacuum preloading design for soft soil foundation with sand interlayer.
