Foundation Settlement Control Technology for 150MIGD Seawater Desalination Plant in Umm-al-Qaiwain of the United Arab Emirates
The geological condition of 150MIGD seawa-ter desalination project in Umm-al-Qaiwain,the United Arab Emirates is typical desert sandy soil,and the region belongs to typical tropical desert climate.The precipitation is low and concentrated in winter.The non-viscous and granular nature of sandy soil is prone to rearrangement and water falling phenomenon under the infiltration and dissipation of rainwater,which leads to foundation set-tlement.Based on this,this paper takes this project as the research object,analyzes the foundation settlement law,and proposes the construction control measures of grouting reinforcement.The research results can provide reference for the construction and reinforcement of foundation en-gineering in the United Arab Emirates region,and can also provide reference for the construction of foundation engi-neering in the desert region of China.
