Numerical Study on the Bearing Capacity of Composite Foundation with Pile-Soil Shear Modulus

Abstract:

Numerical simulation model was established with FLAC3D to calculate the bearing capacity and the settlement of composite foundation with different pile-soil shear modulus. Then the rules of the effect of pile-soil shear modulus upon mixed pile composite foundation have been obtained. The results show that there is a great relationship between the pile-soil shear modulus and the bearing capacity of mixed pile composite foundation. Along with the increase of pile-soil shear modulus, the bearing capacity increase. Also, this paper suggest that the right value of pile-soil shear modulus of mixed pile composite foundation solidified by HEC or HAS consolidator dosing 12%, which can be used for the design of mixed pile composite foundation.
