Analysis of Behavior of Composite Foundation with Sparse Pile to Control Settlement

Abstract:

The composite foundation with sparse piles to control settlement has been used to rapid construction and strict deformation of the structure widely currently, which can enhance the efficient of load transfer and decrease the differential settlement used with the geosynthetic. Considering the confine of analytical solution and the traditional method with a changeless modulus of geosynthetic and pile, the effects of the height of fill, the elastic modulus of geosynthetic and pile material on the differential settlement, embankment soil arching effect and tensioned membrane effect etc. are investigated using the computer code ABAQUS in this paper. The results indicate that the modulus of geosynthetic and pile has a notable influence on the differential settlement and the arching effect, which should be considered in the design. At the same time, the maximum tension in geosynthetic occurs near the edge of the pile cap.
