Based on this method, MATLAB sottware is used to calculate the buckling forces of piles. Effect of the soil stiffness (k), boundary conditions of piles and embedded length of piles (L) on a buckling force have been studied for reinforced concrete pile, whereas the modulus of horizontal subgrade reaction is adopted constantly with depth, increasing linearly with depth with zero value at the surface and increasing linearly with depth with nonzero value at the surface.展开更多

The relationships between force coefficients Cd and CM including in Morison's Eq. . and KC number or Reynolds number Re, and the variation of Cd and Cm in frequency domain are analysed with the method of least-squares in time domain and that of cross-spectral analysis. The plots of C4and Cmversus KCare given for both regular and irregular waves and those for irregular waves are used for numerical simulation of the irregular wave forces on the vertical pile and the results are in fairly good agreement with the test data. Based on the experimental results , the applicability of the spectral analysis method for calculating irregular wave forces on an isolated pile is investigated with the coherency γ between wave and wave forces and with KC number.展开更多

We have focused our attention to the analysis of the carrying capacity of pile foundations provided by the impact of construction of urban tunnels on adjacent pile foundations, under the engineering background of the construction of the # 2 Line of the Guangzhou subway. It is carried out using a fast Lagrangian analysis of a continuum in a 3D numerical code, which is an elastoplastic three-dimensional finite difference model, to simulate the response of piles under the entire process of metro tunneling (deactivation of soil element and activation of the lining). The adjacent stratum around the tunnel is classified into three regions: Zone Ⅰ (upper adjacent stratum of tunnel), Zone Ⅱ (45°-upper-lateral adjacent stratum of tunnel) and Zone Ⅲ (lateral adjacent stratum of tunnel). In each region one typical pile is chosen to be calculated and analyzed in detail. Numerical simulations are mainly conducted at three points of each pile shaft: the side-friction force of the pile, the tip resistance of the pile and the axial loading of the pile. A contrasting analysis has been conducted both in the response of typical piles in different regions and from computer calculated values with site monitoring values. The results of numerical simulations show that the impact on carrying capacity of the piles lies mainly in the impact of construction of urban tunnels on the side-friction forces and the tip resistance of piles. The impact differs considerably among the different strata zones where the pile tips are located. The complicated rules of side-friction force and tip resistance of piles has resulted in complicated rules of pile axial loading thus, in the end, it impacts the carrying capacity of pile-foundations. It is necessary to take positive measures, such as stratum grouting stabilization or foundation underpinning, etc, to deal with the carrying capacity and the settlement of pile-foundations. The results are of value to similar engineering projects.展开更多
