文摘1 Introduction In highway construction,flled embankments are trapezoidal,and the ground is always improved by sand wells or columns.During embankment construction,because the width and height of the embankment are changing,a non-uniform load that varies with time and lateral location is applied to the underlying ground.The consolidation phenomenon under two-dimensional(2D)conditions will keep pace with the construction of the embankment.In addition,because of evaporation and rainfall,the soils are mostly unsaturated.Therefore,it is meaningful to research the consolidation properties of unsaturated ground under non-uniform loading.
