Abstract
An experimental study on drainage of different composite filter material in Wenzhou ultra-soft soils was carried out, to investigate the effects of anti-clogging for these composite material. A new instrument was designed to simulate draining process of the ultra-soft soils under vacuum loadings. Based on the experimental results in the form of pump quantity of water, the average settlement of the sludge, the pumping rate and the water content, a comparison was made among six composite filter material (e.g., PVA-1, PVA-2, SAP, superfine fiber, coral cashmere fiber and bamboo fiber) and a traditional non-woven fabric material. The results demonstrate that, PVA-2 composite material is the best way to keep from clogging in the ultra-soft soils. The effects of the anti-clogging is depended on the characteristics of the water absorbency and retention.
