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.

Increase of Wave Velocity in Precast Pile along with Time and Its Analysis

Low strain dynamic testing on actual pile was conducted to investigate if the wave velocity is varied in the installed pre-cast pile.It was found that the wave velocity of the pile is raised along with time.The analysis has been carried out through with one dimension and three dimension stress wave propagation theories.Among various factors influencing the rise of wave velocity,the factor of the side soil contribution is the chief one.The soil around the pile works jointly with the pile,as if to enlarge the section size of the pile.Both the increase of wave velocity and the bearing capacity of pile are consistent.So the time effect of wave velocity can be used to study the time effect of bearing capacity of the pile and to determine the bearing capacity of piles.     

Anti sliding pile performance under acid stress coupling

Anti sliding piles are an important engineering structure used extensively in landslide prevention. Their durability influences their work lives. In a laboratory model experiment of a cantilevered anti sliding pile under acid stress coupling, the pile body displacement variation is monitored continuously, and both concrete strength and neutralization depth are tested. The results indicate that the concrete strength decreases gradually under acid stress coupling, while the displacement increases continuously. The neutralization depth of the concrete in the anti sliding pile is linear to the square of duration in acid stress coupling.     

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.

Parameter Analysis of Effects of Axial Load on the Lateral Response of Piles

Based on the small deformation assumption, the equations of the laterally loaded piles influenced by the axial load were established. The effect of axial load on the lateral response of piles was studied with parameter analysis. The analysis shows that internal force and deformation of laterally loaded pile under axial loading is actually closely linked with the values of axial and lateral loads. In general, the high level axial load should be focused on. It is more significant that the effect of axial load on the internal force and lateral deflection of the upper part of flexible piles, while there is little effect on deep of long-thin pile foundation. The effect of axial load on the lateral response of pile is the largest as coefficient form of subgrade reaction increases linearly, while the effect is minimal as coefficient form of subgrade reaction is a constant. Except in case of buckling, the changes of axial load along the pile direction have little influence on the magnitudes of deflection and moment. The assumption that the axial load is constant with depth can meet the requirements of engineering.

Contrast Analysis of the Reinforcement Effect of Pile-Net Composite Foundation

To investigate the effect of consolidation soft soil, three groups of model tests were designed. The first group was PVC pile-net composite foundation, the second was pile-cap-net composite foundation, and the third was PVC and sand pile composite foundation. Butter was coated and plastic membrane was covered on inner side wall of model cast to reduce border effect. The gauges were glued with epoxy on the surface of the model with PVC piles and geogrids to measure the stress of PVC piles and geogrids. Soil pressure cells were installed in the middle of piles and the top of the sand piles, and dial indicators were installed in the middle of road and road shoulder to measure deformations. It is that shown: 1) as for the distribution of the road settlement and the differential settlement, the settlements of the third group are the largest and those of the second group are the least; 2) in terms of the stress ratio of PVC pile and soil, the values of the first group and the third group are similar, while the value of the second group is much larger; 3) the change of geogrid strain is disorderly. There are periodic peaks in the strain of geogrid of pile top and periodic troughs in the soil between the piles. The geogrid strain of the second group measured in the corresponding spot is much larger than those of the other two groups. The results of three groups of tests illustrate that if the condition is permitted, it would be the best to adopt the scheme of pile-cap-net composite foundation, which has better reinforcement effect for soft soil.     

Finite Difference "m-k" Method of Calculation of Anchor-stabilizing Piles

Based on the principle of the foundation coefficient " m-k " method,the ginite difference method is presented to analyze the internal forces of a whole prestressed anchor stabilizing pile. The calculation and figure treatments are programmed. An example shows that the high precise solution can be obtained if the segments are small enough, though more computing time may be consumed. Obviously,the calculation precision is better than that of traditional method. The results of figure treatments by the program can optimize the construction design of stabilizing piles. Three kinds of support condition are taken into account.The foundation coefficient "m-k " method applies to the situation that above the slide-surface is soil layer or efflorescence layer,while below the slide-surface is terrane.     

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.

The research results could provide reference for the smooth going of the project.     

Influence of Pile Driving on Soil Resistance in Clay

With the increase of platform size, pipe piles with super large diameter and deep penetration are increasingly used in practice. In order to make accurate prediction of pile drivability, it is essential to evaluate the change of the soil properties under pile driving exactly, and it is the premise to predict the pile bearing capacity after pile driving. In order to learn more about the change of clay properties during pile driving, analysis on the pile driving record of 36 piles in Bohai area is conducted. According to the analysis, the soil resistance in the clay layers decreases as the depth increases, and it is very different from that in the sand layer. The FEM method is used to discuss the mechanism of this decrease. The back analysis is carried out to get more information. The results show that the clay properties are affected by the dynamic effect. The undrained shear strength of clay approximately decreases with the increase of thickness of the layer linearly. At the same time, a prediction is conducted based on results, and the result is closer to the pile driving record than that calculated by method normally used today.
