Abstrakt: A large amount of excavation waste soil will be produced during highway construction, which will lead to environmental pollution and construction site occupation. To make full use of the excavation waste soil, hydraulic pile-forming equipment with a maximum pressure of 200 t is developed based on the principle of building clean transportation infrastructure. In addition, a precast pile with modified waste soil (PPMS) is proposed to achieve the large-scale consumption of the excavation waste soil. The PPMS has the advantages of regular shape, reliable quality, and stable bearing capacity. The relevant production standards and construction processes are proposed in this paper. The static pressure test analysis of the PPMS and lime–soil compaction pile was performed to verify the feasibility of the PPMS in reinforcing soft foundations. The test results show that the bearing capacity of a single PPMS could reach 600 kN. Under the upper load of 400 kPa, the settlement of the PPMS-reinforced soft foundation is 30% smaller than that of the lime–soil compaction pile. The PPMS has the advantages of high bearing capacity and economic and environmental protection, which is suitable for reinforcing soft foundations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
