The invention relates to a method for adopting long plastic drainage plate (or sand drain) and short cement-soil mixing pile in connection to deal with highway soft foundation (abbr. a long plate-short pile working method, or called a D-M working method). Compared with the single prepressing drainage method, such method has the advantages of effectively raising the stability of foundation effectively and accelerating the construction of road embankment owing to the existence of a short pile, thus shortening the constructing period correspondingly. Compared with a single deep mixing pile, the method can accelerate the consolidation settlement of deep soft soil owing to the existence of a long plate; therefore, the settlement after working is controlled in a certain range; besides, the coordination of settlement speed rates among different sections becomes possible by adjusting the space, the length and the prepressing style between the pile and the plate.
