Optimization Simulations of Support System by Composite Soil-Nail Retaining Structure

Abstract:

Mechanism of composite pre-reinforced micro pile soil-nail and pure soil-nail retaining structure in foundation-pit engineering are analyzed in this paper through general three dimension nonlinear numerical simulation software. Research contents include whole construction process simulation of construction such as excavation by steps, piles and soil-nail installation and panel manufacture etc. By the comparison of mechanical characteristics between the pure soil-nail and composite soil-nail retaining structures in the same slope engineering example, differences of tension distribution range of soil layer, deformation features, mechanical characteristics of support and axial force distribution along nails etc. are analyzed. Research results are verified by in-site projects and measured data. The action mechanism and working performance of composite soil-nail retaining support are also systematically studied and theoretical basis can be provided in the similar application.
