STATE THE ART OF CONSOLIDATION THEORY FOR COMPOSITE GROUND

Composite ground technology was widely used in many engineering fields，such as water conservancy，highway，high-speed railway and other industrial and civil engineering. So far，research on consolidation theory of composite ground was made great progress. The recent advancements in theoretical solutions for consolidation of composite ground were summarized，and problems in present solutions were pointed out in the paper. Valuable proposals for further research on the project were offered .
