Brief Analysis of Countermeasures and Treatment Methods for Soft Foundations in Highway and Bridge Construction
At present, the construction of transportation facilities such as highways and bridges is increasing day by day. During their construction, soft foundations, due to their common characteristics of low bearing capacity, high compressibility, large porosity, instability, and difficulty in treatment, have become a common engineering technical challenge encountered in the construction of highways, bridges, and other projects. When designing and constructing soft soil foundations for highway and bridge projects, it is necessary to comprehensively consider all aspects including foundation, structure, construction, and usage, and to adopt reasonable and applicable foundation treatment methods to improve foundation bearing capacity, reduce uneven settlement, and ensure the safety and normal use of highways and bridges. This paper briefly describes the basic characteristics of soft soil foundations, and discusses and analyzes countermeasures for soft foundations in highway and bridge construction as well as commonly used treatment methods for soft soil foundations.
