The usual vacuum preloading process cannot meet design and construction requirements of foundations of station tracks because of its long construction periods and poor soil water drainage effect.To overcome those disadvantages,the air boosted type of vacuum preloading was introduced in construction of the foundation of a station.Test sections for four different design alternatives were set up on the construction site to measure and compare the settlement of the surface layer,the settlement by layer,the pore water pressures and ground water levels and to verify the applicability of the air-boosted vacuum preloading technology.The test results show as follows: The booster-type preloading increases the settlement during pre-compaction and shortens the consolidation time;the increment of settlement was mainly generated 2 meters below,the buried depth of the booster tubes,and it occupies about 70% of the total settlement;air-boosting treatment effectively reduces the ground water level in the vacuum preloading area and accelerates consolidation of the soft foundation.
