Abstract:

The settlement of foundation includes initial settlement, consolidation settlement and secondary consolidation settlement. By considering the mechanism of foundation settlement and the upper structural properties of time-dependent materials, time-dependent loads and time-dependent structures, the time-dependent rules of foundation settlement in soft clay are investigated in this study. Existing settlement prediction models are further developed, and a stepped loading time- dependent settlement model for the super high-rise buildings in soft clay is proposed. Numerical simulation of a super high-rise building project illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed time- dependent settlement model. The time-dependent settlement model developed in this study provides a foundation for further studies on the time-dependent effects due to the upper structure-foundation- subgrade interaction.
