Brief Discussion on Application of Lightweight Filler in Subgrade
Light fillers are usually used to fill the subgrade for reducing the settlement of subgrade.The common fillers are fly-ash,geofoam plastic and foamed lightweight soil.Through an engineering example,the filling methods of the three materials in the embankment are introduced.Combined with the post-construction settlements and engineering costs of the different embankment heights and the different fillers,the engineering design schemes are compared and selected.
