The effect of embedded pile length on the factor of safety and pile behavior is analyzed. Furthermore, the effects of pile spacing, pile head conditions, pile bending stiffness and soil properties on length and behavior of pile are also analyzed. The results show that the pile spacing and the pile head conditions have significant influences on the critical embedded length of pile. It is found that the critical embedded length of pile, beyond which the factor of safety does not increase, increases with the decrease in pile spacing. The smaller the pile spacing is, the larger the integrity of the reinforced slope will be. A theoretical analysis of the slip surface is also conducted, and the slip surface determined by the pressure on piles, considering the influences of both soil and piles for slope, is in agreement with the ones in previous studies.展开更多

However,the resistance in front of the pile,the distributions of resistance and thrust,and appropriate pile length cannot be easily obtained. In this paper,the authors applied the strength-reduction finite element method (FEM) to several design cases of anti-slide piles. Using this method,it is possible to take the pile-soil interactions into consideration,obtain reasonable resistance in front of pile and the distributions of thrust and resistance,and reasonable lengths of anti-slide piles. In particular,the thrust and resistance imposed on embedded anti-slide piles can be calculated and composite anti-slide pile structures such as anchored piles and braced piles can be optimized. It is proved through the calculation examples that this method is more reliable and economical in the design of anti-slide pile.展开更多

A three-dimensional finite element calculation model of the pile foundation was established according to the actual working conditions, and the calculation results were compared with the field test results to verify the correctness of the built model. Then, the influence of wave scouring depth and pile embedding depth on the vertical bearing behavior of pile foundation was analyzed through calculation examples. The analysis results showed that the greater the depth of wave erosion, the greater the impact on the vertical bearing behavior of the pile foundation. Meanwhile, the smaller the buried depth of the pile body, the greater the impact on the vertical bearing capacity of the pile. Thus, the reduction rate of the vertical bearing capacity under different scouring depths was obtained.展开更多
