Studies on the Residual Settlement of CFG Pile Composite Foundation of the Wuhan-Guangzhou High Speed Railway

Wuhan-Guangzhou passenger special line is the most important backbone of China high speed railway net. The line span is 968 km, among of them; roadbed is 388 km, occupied 40.1% of the total line. Due to the rigorous residual settlement of the roadbed, the CFG (Cement Flayash Gravel) pile is used as the composite foundation to enforce the intensity of roadbed and reduce the post-settlement. The paper studies on CFG pile composite foundation at the Wuhan experimental section, using the finite element numerical simulate the interaction of the pile and pile surrounding soil under the permanent load conditions. The results show that the stimulation model has the more accordance with the actual observation results. The residual settlement comes from the soil layer is bigger than the pile length.
