Features: The Wuping Dam in Yunnan is currently the highest dam built on soft soil foundation both domestically and internationally. This book meticulously records the valuable engineering experience of constructing a dam on soft soil foundation. It systematically introduces the general overview of the Wuping Project, the engineering geological conditions, as well as the digital and physical model validations for the soft foundation improvement scheme using vibroflotation gravel pile replacement. The book also focuses on documenting the detailed technical data of vibroflotation gravel pile reinforcement, particularly the gravel pile density tests, single-pile static load tests, heavy penetration tests, and large-scale load tests on the composite foundation after reinforcement. These provide comprehensive and reliable data for evaluating the effectiveness of vibroflotation in soft soil foundation improvement, enriching the technical knowledge of vibroflotation for soft soil foundation reinforcement, and offering a highly valuable reference model for soft soil foundation dam construction in China. This book is suitable for reference by water conservancy and hydropower technicians and can also be read by professionals in related fields.
