A Determination Procedure of Foundation and Pile Bearing Capacity in Slopes

Abstract:

When there is a ramp, the methods of calculating the foundation and pile bearing capacity are different from the plains situation. Many scholars have been studied determination method of the foundation and pile bearing capacity under the condition of slopes. A program is developed based on the results of previous studies, which can calculate the foundation and pile bearing capacity under the condition of slopes. The program using MATLAB software integrates a calculation method of foundation and pile capacity under slope condition. Combined with numerical examples, the results illustrate the upshots of the calculation methods in the program on the basis of the literature by interpolation method with the adjustment coefficients are accurate. And analyzed the influence of slope ratio on the bearing capacity: capacity and slope ratio was negatively correlated, with the slope ratio decreases, the capacity is on the increase, but the degree of increase based on the slope ratio.
