Geometry Optimization and Engineering Applications of Transmission Tower Foundation in the Slope

Abstract:

Combining with practical engineering, geometry optimization and engineering applications of transmission tower foundation in the slope is researched by using the finite-difference software FLAC3D. The variation of the pullout, vertical and horizontal ultimate bearing capacity with the diameter and length of the pile is analyzed. And optimization program of actual project is given. Research shows that when the pile length is constant, the variation of the pullout and vertical ultimate bearing capacity is increasing with the diameter increasing significantly and the horizontal ultimate bearing capacity is not significant. When the diameter is constant, the pullout, vertical and horizontal ultimate bearing capacity is increasing with the length increasing significantly. By analyzing nonlinear regression analysis of calculation data, the formula of the ultimate bearing capacity is carried out, which can consider the different pile diameters and lengths. When the gradient and distance of slopes is constant, the pullout, vertical and horizontal ultimate bearing capacity can be carried out with the formula, which can provide a reference to specification revision and engineering.
