Partially penetrated soft soil by columns and the underlying compressible soft soil create a double-layered compressible foundation. So far, no reasonable solution is available to estimate the consolidation of such a double-layered foundation. This paper proposes an analytical solution for consolidation of a double-layered compressible foundation partially penetrated by deep mixed columns considering one-side or two-side vertical drainage The Laplace transform method was used to solve the consolidation equation for the double-layered system while Stehfest s algorithm was used to solve the inverse Laplace transform for time-dependent loading. A consolidation algorithm was used to calculate the time-settlement relationship of an embankment constructed upon the double-layered foundation partially penetrated by deep mixed columns. The calculated settlements were compared well with field measurements. DOI: 0.06/ASCE :80 CE Database subject headings: Consolidation; Foundations; Clays; Columns; Soft soils.

This technical note is part of the Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, Vol. 34, No. 8, August, 008. ASCE, ISSN /008/8-0 4/$5.00. In the past decades, a number of analytical solutions have been developed for calculating the consolidation of compressible foundations under loading Barron 948; Hansbo 98; Zeng and Xie 989; Lee and Xie 996; Tang and Onitsuka 00; Han and Ye 00, 00. These solutions have provided the methods for the design of embankments over soft soils with vertical drains or stone columns. The construction of an embankment and traffic loading are time dependent and would increase total vertical stresses in the soft soils. In practice, however, the rate of consolidation is often calculated based on one-dimensional consolidation theory assuming instantaneous loading. This calculation is then corrected for two- or three-dimensional effects using, for example, the Skempton-Bjerrum method Skempton and Bjerrum 957. Terzaghi 943 proposed a simple method for correcting the time-settlement curve considering the construction period. Olson 977 obtained a mathematical solution for one-dimensional consolidation of a single compressible layer under simple ramp loading. Furthermore, Schiffman 958, 00 developed a consolidation solution of a clay soil layer under timedependent loading. However, the soils in the field are often layered and it is unrealistic to simplify the compressible strata into one single soil layer. Schiffman and Stein 970 developed a solution to handle the layered consolidation problem under depth-independent loading. Xie et al. 994, Tang and Onitsuka 00, and Wang and Jiao 004 presented the consolidation solutions for doublelayered soils with vertical drains to accelerate the consolidation. These solutions all assumed that the total load remains constant during the consolidation. Zhu and Yin 999 presented a solution for consolidation of a double-layered soil system under a ramp load. Moreover, these solutions are not suitable for calculating the consolidation of a double-layered compressible foundation partially penetrated by deep mixed columns. Detailed discussions on deep mixing technology can be found in many references; for example, Terashi and Tanaka 983 and Han et al. 00. The review of this technology is beyond the scope of this study. In this study, the Laplace transform method was used to develop the consolidation equation for a double-layered foundation considering vertical drainage. Stehfest s algorithm was used to solve the inverse Laplace transform for time-dependent loading. This consolidation algorithm was applied to calculate the settlement of an embankment constructed over a double-layered foundation of Jiangsu marine clay. Consolidation Theory of Double-Layered Foundations Basic Assumptions Consider a double-layered compressible foundation system, in which the upper layer has a thickness h, a constrained modulus E s, and a saturated hydraulic conductivity in the vertical direction k v and the lower layer has a thickness h, a constrained modulus E s, and a saturated hydraulic conductivity in the vertical direction k v. In this study, the upper layer is treated by deep mixed columns with an area replacement ratio m, which is defined as the ratio of the column area to the total treated area. 0 / JOURNAL OF GEOTECHNICAL AND GEOENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING ASCE / AUGUST 008

To solve this consolidation problem under uniform surface loading i.e., one-dimensional consolidation with either one-way or two-way drainage boundaries, the following assumptions are made, which are similar to those assumed by Barron 948, Hansbo 98, and Xie et al. 994:. All vertical strains at a horizontal plane are equal;. Soils are isotropic horizontally and uniform vertically; 3. Loads are applied onto the top surface during the consolidation of soils; 4. The deep mixed columns i.e., cement-soil columns in this study are impervious; 5. The excess pore pressure at the drainage surface is zero; and 6. Construction disturbance is ignored. Consolidation Equations Under the equal-strain condition assumption, the partial differential equation for the consolidation of soils due to vertical drainage can be expressed as follows: u i t = c u i vi z + qt t where u i excess pore water pressure in soil layer i i=,; c vi coefficient of consolidation of soil layer i; and qtapplied pressure at the ground surface i.e., the loading function. The boundary conditions and the initial conditions are: At z=0, u =0; At z=h, u =0, or u /z=0; 3 At z=h, u =u and mk v u /z=k v u /z continuity condition; and 4 At t=0, u =0, and u i = pz initial condition. where marea replacement ratio of deep mixed columns, typically m=0. 0.; k v and k v coefficients of permeability of the upper and lower soil layers; and pzinitial pore water pressure at depth z. Analytical Solution In order to simplify the formulation, the following three dimensionless parameters are defined below: a = k v k v, b = m v m v = E E no lateral deformation and c = h h where m v and m v coefficients of volumetric compressibility of the upper and lower soil layers equal to the reciprocal of the constrained modulus; E =me col + me s, E col constrained modulus of deep mixed columns, and E s constrained modulus of the upper soil layer; E =E s. Based on Terzaghi s D consolidation solution Terzaghi 943, the excess pore water pressure for a free draining top surface problem can be obtained as follows: u i = g mi ze m t B m + C m T m t i =, 3 where g m z=sin m z/h, g m z=a m cos m H z/h ; m,, m,a m,b m, and C m constants; and T m ttime coefficient due to Rt=qt/t. Substituting Eq. 3 into the boundary condition 3, the parameter A m can be obtained as follows: A m = sin m cosc m a m tg mtgc m = Substituting Eq. 3 into Eq. yields m = c v m h = c v c v = b a t T m t e =0 m Rd C m g m z = and A m C m g m z = Using Eq. 5 and the orthogonal relationship formula as follows: h m vg mz g nzdz +h 0 = 0 H m v g m z g n zdz m n h m v +bca m m = n Based on Eq. 9, the coefficient C m can be derived as follows: C m = mcos m m +bca m According to the initial condition, the following expression can be obtained: B m g mi z = pz i =, Thus, the coefficient B m can be derived as follows: B m = So 0 h H z H z pzsin m + pza m cos m h dz bh h dz h +bca m 3 t t z u = sin m h e m B m + C Re m t m0 d 4a sin u = m sinc m sin H z m e m tb t m + C Re m t h m0 d 4b JOURNAL OF GEOTECHNICAL AND GEOENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING ASCE / AUGUST 008 /

Double-layered foundation model Solution for a Double-Layered Foundation Using Laplace s Transform Method Laplace s Transform To obtain a solution for a consolidation problem with a timedependent load, Laplace s transform was first used and then Stehfest s method was used as the inverse transform for the numerical calculation. Eq. can be rewritten in the effective stress form as follows: i z,t i z,t = c vi t z i =, 5 The initial condition and boundary condition are as follows: i 0,t =0, z H = h + h 6a i 0,t = qt, t 0 6b where i z,teffective stress of the soil layer i; and c vi coefficient of consolidation of the soil layer i. Laplace s transform of Eq. 5 yields the following equation: iz,s = A i expr i z + A i exp r i z 7 where sparameter of Laplace s transform, r i =s/c vi. The inverse Laplace s transform of Eq. 7 can be expressed as follows: i z,t = a+i ia i iz,se st dt 8 The compression of each soil layer can be calculated as follows: Fig. 3. Average degrees of consolidation for double-layered foundations with different coefficients of consolidation s i =h i h i m vi i z,tdz 9 where m vi coefficient of volumetric compressibility of the ith soil layer. The total settlement of the double-layered foundation can be calculated by the following equation: S = s i i 0 Stehfest s Inversion Formula The inverse Laplace transform can be easily used for simple problems. For complicated problems, however, a numerical method must be adopted to solve the inverse Laplace s transform. The Stehfest algorithm is a numerical solution that has good stability for solving the inverse Laplace transform Stehfest 970. Stehfest s numerical inversion formula of the Laplace transform for a specific time t=t is as follows: ft = ln n V j f ln T j= T j where f simage function of ft; f s=lft= 0 fte st dt V j = N/+i Mini,N/ k= i+ and Npositive even number. k N/ k!

Average degrees of consolidation for double-layered foundations with different first stage loading time the double-layered foundation, this program was used to analyze a double-layered foundation subjected to two-stage loading. In this case, the upper layer is treated by deep mixed columns with an area replacement ratio of 0.5. The two-stage loading assumed in the analysis is shown in Fig.. The two ramp loads are assumed to have the same magnitude i.e., q u =q u. The parameters of the soil layers are as follows: c v =0.76* 0 3 cm /s, k v =3.65* 0 7 cm/s, k v =4.3* 0 7 cm/s, E s =.9 MPa, E col =0 MPa, m=0.5, E s =.0 MPa, h = m, h =8 m, q =50 kpa, and q =30 kpa. Fig. 3 shows the effect of the coefficient of consolidation of the second soil layer on the degree of consolidation of the double-layered foundation for the case of t =t 3 t =90 days, which shows that T v increases as c v increases. Fig. 4 presents the effect of t, the duration over which the first load is applied, on the degree of consolidation for the double-layered foundation with c v =0.076* 0 3 cm /s. The results show that T v increases as t increases. Fig. 5 shows how the constrained modulus of the double-layered foundation influences the consolidation. The harder the soil layers, the faster the rate of consolidation for the double-layered foundation.

Along this section, the crown width of the expressway is 8 m and contains an embankment varying in height from 4 to 7 m. The thickness of the Jiangsu soft marine clay beneath the highway embankment is approximately to 6 m. The clay has high compressibility, low shear strength, and low permeability.

5 foundation. A case study was selected to demonstrate that the calculated settlements using the proposed solution are in good agreement with the measured ones.

Settlement-time curves versus calculation settlement curves of embankment, at K7+0 marine clay, the double-layered system shown in Fig. 5 was used. The upper layer of this double-layered system is the deep mixed columns improved layer and the lower layer is the clay soil layer without improvement. The parameters of the soil layers are c v =0.76* 0 3 cm /s, k v =3.65* 0 7 cm/s, k v =4.3* 0 7 cm/s, E s =.9 MPa, E col =0 MPa, m=0.5, E s =.0 MPa, h = m, and h =8 m. Settlement Calculation The settlement calculation was conducted for an embankment constructed over the double-layer system as discussed above using the solution proposed in this paper. Fig. 6 presents the calculated settlement results as compared with the measured settlements in the field. It is shown that this paper s calculation result is in good agreement with the measured ones. However, Xie s solution Xie et al. 994 cannot predict well the consolidation performance of layered soils because his method assumed instantaneous loading. Zhu s solution Zhu and Yin 999 cannot predict well the consolidation performance of layered soils because his method assumed ramp loading. Conclusions This paper presents the development of an analytical solution for consolidation of a double-layered compressible foundation formed by partial penetration of deep mixed columns with one- or two-way drainage boundaries. The Laplace transform method was used to solve the consolidation equations while the Stehfest algorithm was used to solve the inverse Laplace transform for timedependent loading. Parametric study based on a two-stage ramp loading demonstrates an obvious effect of the first loading time on the degree of consolidation of the double-layered soil system. The constrained moduli of two layers within the foundation also significantly influence the consolidation of the double-layered foundation. The stiffness of the double-layered soil profile plays an important role in the rate of consolidation. The harder the soil layers, the faster the rate of consolidation for the double-layered Acknowledgments The writers appreciate the financial support provided by the National Natural Science Foundation of China NSFC Award No for this work.
