Abstract
Reclamation in Changi East, Singapore involved the formation of 2000 ha of land. The use of prefabricated vertical drains, combined with surcharge, was required to accelerate the consolidation settlement of the underlying soft compressible soil throughout most of the area. The fill used was marine dredged sand which was placed mainly by hydraulic means and densified by various deep compaction methods such as dynamic compaction, vibroflotation and Müller resonance compaction. A comprehensive instrumentation scheme was used to monitor the process of consolidation. The various methods used for assessing the performance of the soil improvement works, namely soil instrumentation, in situ tests and laboratory tests, are also discussed. The soil improvement works, which included the treatment of a siltpond filled with ultrasoft soil and three pilot tests associated with the use of vertical drains, are also described and discussed. La récupération de terre en Changi Est à Singapour comprend la formation d'un terrain de 2000 hectares. Des drains verticaux préfabriqués sont combinés avec une surcharge pour accélérer le tassement du subsol compressible dans la plupart de la surface. Nous remblayons avec du sable dragué du mer et placé principalement par la méthode hydraulique et densifié par un nombre de méthodes de compactage, comme le compactage dynamique, la vibroflotation et le compactage résonance de Müller. Le procès de consolidation est contrôlé par un programme d'instruction détaillé. De plus, nous discutons des méthodes utilisées pour évaluer la performance du système de stabilisation, notamment l'instrumentation du sol, et les essais sur place et en laboratoire. Enfin, le système de stabilisation du sol, qui comprend le traitement d'un bassin de vase rempli de sol très mou et 3 épreuvespilote associés avec l'usage de drains verticaux, est décrit et discuté.
