Behavior Analysis of Laterally Loaded Single Pile under Large Deflection

Based on the simplified elastoplastic constitutive model of soil, the calculation method for the laterally loaded single pile with large deflection was submitted. The coefficient of subgrade reaction was presumed to increase linearly with depth, which simulates the soil resistance close to ground well. The relevant program was then developed using FORTRAN language. The examples show that (1)the displacement and bending moment increase nonlinearly when the lateral load and the moment load increase. (2)The pile displacement decreases with depth. (3)The pile displacement at the point which is over ten times pile diameter from ground is so small that can be neglected. (4)The pile head condition is the key factor, which influences the distributions of pile responses along depth. (5)By improving the mechanical properties of soil around pile, the maximum lateral displacement and bending moment can be decreased efficiently. The calculation results are in good agreement with the field test results and are better than those obtained using the pre existing solutions, which shows the presented solutions are reliable.     

Dynamic Response Analysis of High-rise Pile Cap-soil-structure under the Wave and Earthquake Action

Finite element software was used to simulate the internal force and deformation of high-rise pile cap-soil-structure under the wave and earthquake action. Meanwhile, wave force was calculated by using Morison equation, and the mechanical behavior of structure was simulated by inputing horizontal El-Centro wave. Then, the initial state and the state of the largest positive and negative acceleration were selected to study the structure according to the time history curve, and the displacement, bending moment, shear and axial force changes of pile foundation under wave and earthquake action were discussed, which was compared and analyzed with the structural response under the action of earthquakes solely. The result shows that the moment of front row of piles is biggest, and the force of pile bolck is the most dangerous; the axial force of the corner piles is the largest, and one of the center piles is the smallest under the action of wave and earthquake. When the wave forces and seismic forces are in the same direction, the displacement, moment, and shear force of pile bolck will be increased, on the contrary, the displacement, moment, and shear force of pile bolck will be decreased.     

Stability Analysis of Multiple Long Pile Models based on the Lateral Static Load Test of Pile

A mathematical model was established by using the transfer matrix based on Winkler elastic subgrade and spring supports in Newmark method. In simplification for subgrade reaction with discrete spring supports, the unequal displacements of two ends for pile section were included in the model. Lateral displacement and cross-section angle of the pile were determined by lateral static load test and the values of parameters of multiple subgrade reaction models were calculated by computer programming. By identifying the stability of long pile in different subgrade reaction models, the change patterns of three factors were analyzed, including effective length of long pile, restrictions on pile top and extensive length on the ground.

Computational Model and Influencing Factor Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Walls under Fire

The finite element software ABAQUS is used to calculate the deformation of reinforced concrete walls under fire. The calculated results agree well with previous experimental results. Based on the finite element model, the influences of such parameters as axial load level, lateral load level, height-to-thickness ratio, wall thickness, concrete compressive strength, steel reinforcement yield strength, steel reinforcement ratio and concrete protection thickness on deformation and fire resistance of walls are analyzed systematically. It is found that, under the conditions of big axial load level or wall thickness without lateral load and small height-to-thickness ratio, the reverse deflection of reinforced concrete walls in fire is apt to occur. Within the work range of parameters in common use, the fire resistance of walls decreases with the increase of axial load level, lateral load level, height-to-thickness ratio, steel reinforcement yield strength or steel reinforcement ratio, and increases with the increase of wall thickness or concrete compressive strength.

Analysis of Load-bearing Characteristics of Concrete Pile Composite Foundation

Some conclusions were drawn from two groups of in-site tests on concrete pile composite foundations. In the tests, it was found that the pressure under the rigid loading slab is different, in which the pressure under the center of the slab is the less and under the edge of the slab is the biggest. The pile-soil stress ratio is not a constant; it increases with the adding of the load. Most of the pile-soil ratio vary from 9 to 13 in these tests and the load that the piles share can be more than seventy percent of the whole load. It was proved that the bearing capacity of the concrete pile composite foundation is high with a little settlement, so it will be used more and more in the future.

Analysis of Wave Loads on the Grouping PileFoundation with Slab Merged in Water

In order to get the wave loads on pile groups with slab merged in water, an engineering approach was proposed. Three coefficients in terms of slab effect were discussed and a time -domain analysis of wave forces acting on piles was conducted. Wave diffraction from a slab was obtained by the potential theory and eigenfunction expansion method, while wave loads on piles were evaluated by Morison formula. The wave force on pile obtained by the proposed method and the numerical simulation are in good agreement, which shows a good reliability of the proposed method. The result shows that, owing to the size of slabs, there exist some differences in the changing rule of slab effect varying with the submerged depth. The resultant force decreases with the rise of incident wave number, and the changing trend of its acting point appears an inflection point at some wave number. The minimum force acting on piles lies in the meeting-wave side of the slab, while the maximum one arises at the back side or in the scope of 30 degrees between the axis of slab, which is perpendicular to the incident wave, and the back side. The presence of slab causes the deflexion and phase difference of inline force. Meanwhile, the grouping piles coefficient can be taken as 0.7.     

DEM Analysis of Soil Arching of Pile Supported Embankment

Pile supported embankment has been widely used in road, airport and dam engineering due to effective construction and economic advantages which can effectively control the settlement and differential settlement. The soil aching effect is a key factor in the load transfer mechanism of pile supported embankment. Based on the current laboratory model test, a series of numerical simulations were conducted with the particle flow code PFC2D to study the contact force, principal stress, vertical and lateral displacements in embankment. The embankment fill and subsoil were simulated by the Disk,andthe pile and model box were simulated by the WallThe multi-layer compaction method was used to establish the Discrete Element Method models. The micromechanical properties of the embankment fill and subsoil were obtained from numerical biaxial compression test and simple compression test, respectively. The simulation results indicated that the soil arching in pile supported embankment was composed by multiple hemispherical arches with different centers, and the height of arching was about 5(s-a)/6. Within the soil aching height, the deflection of principal stresswas obvious, and the vertical and lateral displacements were significant.

Lateral Load Capacity Analysis of Variable Section Hybrid Piles with Wteel Casing

With the construction of deep-water bridge foundation, steel casing is left after the construction of cast-in place piles due to the dismantle difficulty. Then the pile actually forms a variable section pile which has bigger section area at upper part. Using the nonlinear NL method, the displacement and the internal force are analyzed for piles with and without casing in Sutong Bridge. It is found that the displacement of pile with casing can be reduced by 50%, and it can not be ignored for accurate calculation of displacement. 8 model pile tests are carried out, which suggests that the slurry thickness can significantly affect the capability of co-working between the pile and the casing.

Analysis Experimental on the Bearing Behavior of Enhanced Pipe Piles in Deep Soft Soils

enhanced pipe piles are made by centrifugal rotation and steam curing under high temperature, so it is very difficult to embed concrete strain gauges during making piles. A new method is used to embed concrete strain gauges in piles. Based on the static loading tests on enhanced pipe piles, the load transferring mechanism of enhanced pipe piles is studied through analysing axial load distribution, behaviors of skin resistance and base resistance of piles, and load sharing of rims of enhanced pipe piles. Experimental results show that when axial load acts on the top of enhanced pipe piles, the upper rims of enhanced pipe piles act on skin resistance of piles before the lower rims do, and the rims of enhanced pipe piles remarkably reinforce skin resistance of piles.
