ABSTRACT
The test area is located in Tianjin Harbor Industrial Area, covering an improvement area of 1800 m2. This area is covered by newly hydraulic filled soil, whose top soil is basically fluid mud of about 4 m in depth. Before the test design, in-situ soil sampling and laboratory soil tests were conducted for the test area. Thin-walled soil sampler was adopted to collect 80 soil samples, and the maximum depth of soil sampling was 3.5 m. The test results of laboratory soil samples are detailed in Table 1.
