Abstract：Based on the chemical-physical combined method(CPCM) to more efficiently increase consolidation effects of soft clay or clay slurry and incorporated with the advanced vacuum preloading(VP) technique with vertical drains，new lab testing results of three-dimensional consolidation on the chemically treated Pearl Rivel marine clay under VP were presented；while parallel tests with pure marine clay under VP were conducted. The testing results show that the consolidation rate of the models using CPCM is obviously faster than that using conventional VP method. Within the same consolidation time，the compressive strength of the consolidated soil achieved by CPCM is much higher than that achieved only by applying VP. Furthermore，the similar tests conducted on Singapore marine clay also supported the findings that CPCM has super effectiveness and advantages. This totally new CPCM has therefore high development potentials for both academic research and engineering application especially in land reclamation.
