Application of a surcharge load to soft soil ground results in immediate undrained lateral soil movement away from the load and induces additional stress into the adjacent ground; problems involving the respond of soft ground to surcharge have been the topic of much recent research. Based on the engineering application which uses the synthetic method of stress isolation and ground reinforcement to handle soft ground problem induce by the adjacent surcharge load

this paper employs the PLAXIS to analyze the stress distribution and deformation of ground; reasonable agreement between the result and the observing data

is found.
