Abstract

A new idea about analysis of reinforced depth is proposed. The consolidation degree of soil at any point is calculated base on the conventional consolidation equation for sand-drained ground, and the reinforced depth is deduced through the consolidation degree. The variation of reinforced depth is analyzed. The results show: Within a certain period of consolidation (90days), the effective reinforced depth is uneven. The effective reinforced depth of the soil near the PVD reach the bottom of the PVD, and the soil between the PVDs do not. The reinforced depth will improve with increasing consolidation time.
