Abstract: Model tests of the squeezed and branch pile with or without vertical load are carried out and the horizontal load bearing capacity are studied in this paper. Based on the model test results, the influence of vertical load to squeezed and branch pile horizontal load bearing capacity and the influence of horizontal load to squeezed and branch pile vertical bearing capacity are analyzed with FEM. The analysis results show that the vertical load may increase the lateral bearing capacity of pile, and the horizontal load may decrease the vertical settlement, but horizontal load may increase the horizontal displacement and moment of the pile body and lead to instability and cracking failure. This should be pay more attention in the practical engineering.

Abstract: Super-long pile bridges and high-rise buildings are commonly used in the form of pile foundation. In the flood area, due mainly silt stratum, as well as the decline in groundwater mound pile under the conditions set out in the consolidation, there will be a negative pile skin friction and negative friction obvious time effect, which bearing capacity of the pile has a great influence. Current research on negative friction for super-long pile considering time effect is relatively little. In the model box, on the base of the super-long pile silt model test, set out in a pile mound under consolidation, soil testing flour gradually over time preloading consolidation settlement, pile-soil relative displacement, so as to arrive negative friction pile variation with time, tip resistance variation with time from the pile-axial force curve deduce the location of the neutral point and changes in circumstances, the pile foundation engineering practice has a certain significance.
