The purpose of this course is to make students to master the basic concept and methods of soft soil treatment, to know the basic procedure and recently development and application in the constructions of Coast Engineering, and port and Harbor Engineering. The content of the course includes the basic principle, design theory, and construction machines of various soft soil treatment method such as replacement soil treatment, deep compaction (dynamic compaction, sand compaction piles, granular piles, lime columns, earth piles, cement fly ash piles), vertical drains (preloading method, sand drains, prefabricated vertical drains), chemical admixture stabilization (grouting, jet grouting, and soil-cement mixing method), mechanically stabilized earth (reinforced soil bulkhead, geotextile improved embankment, soil nailing stabilized slope and cut wall). This course will arrange one or two times site visit, which is to make students get perceptual cognition on construction machine and method, and deepen the teaching effect in classroom. Furthermore, this course will arrange two exercises of design and field monitoring plans, which is to make students using the learned knowledge to do work and write scientific reports. This course will be lectured by using both English and Chinese at the same time.
