The invention belongs to the technical field of roadbed widening and relates to a soft soil area roadbed widening structure and a construction method thereof. The soft soil area roadbed widening structure comprises an old roadbed, a gravel
cushion layer, a soft soil stratum and a lower
lying supporting layer which are arranged successively from top to bottom and further comprises vertical
pile bodies, connecting pieces and reinforced retaining walls. The vertical
pile bodies punch through the soft soil stratum and are supported on the lower
lying supporting layer; the gravel
cushion layer is laid on the tops of the vertical
pile bodies; steps are arranged in the position, on a slide slope after substantial slope
cutting, of the old roadbed; the
slope ratio of the slide slope after slope
cutting is (1:0.5)-(1:1); the reinforced retaining walls are arranged on the gravel
cushion layer and are buckled with the steps of the slide slope of the old roadbed; and the connecting pieces are placed on the combination parts of the reinforced retaining walls and the old roadbed and are connected with the reinforced retaining walls and the old roadbed correspondingly. The invention provides the roadbed widening structure and the construction method thereof, the occupied area is small, the foundation treatment cost is low, the filler requirement is few, construction efficiency is high, the structure is stable, and the roadbed widening structure and the construction method thereof are especially suitable for roadbed widening
engineering in coastal soft soil areas.
