6.6.2.7.2 Type values

Type Description
DYNAMICALLYCOMPACTED

The method of using dynamic tamping machine usually free falling a heavy hammer from the height, compacting the soil and quickly improving the bearing capacity of the foundation.

GROUTED

A method of injecting curable slurry into cracks or pores of a geotechnical foundation to improve its physical and mechanical properties.

REPLACED

Dig out the soft soil in a certain range below the foundation ground and then backfill the area with high strength, low compressibility and no corrosive materials.

ROLLERCOMPACTED

A kind of compacting method that adopts rolling machinery, repeated rolling and vibration compacts the foundation soil, increasing strength and descreasing compressibility.

SURCHARGEPRELOADED

A method that applies load to the foundation to discharge pore water, and the foundation is consolidated to improve the foundation strength. Unloading when the carrying capacity reaches the required level.

VERTICALLYDRAINED

A method to set vertical drainage measures in the foundation, so that pore water in the soil is discharged and the foundation strength is improved.

USERDEFINED

User-defined type

NOTDEFINED

Undefined type.
