Abstract:With the advancement of urbanization in mountainous areas, the construction of mountain roads generally involves the deep excavating and high filling. Particularly in high-fill road sections, the settlement control is a crucial aspect of road subgrade design. Combined with the Pingjiang Railway Station Connection Project of the Menghao Railway in Hunan, three typical cross-sections are selected to model and calculate the high-fill subgrade construction by the finite element software ANSYS. The main factors of subgrade settlement at different filling heights are analyzed. By adjusting and calculating the parameters such as the elastic modulus and material density of the in-situ foundation and the filled subgrade, and combined with the engineering practice, the reasonable subgrade treatment measures are proposed to reduce the settlement in high-fill subgrades, which provides some insights for the design and analysis of similar projects.
