Analysis of Platform on Piles Application on Deformation Control of Underground Pipe in Reclamation Areas

Abstract:

At coastal beach soft soil area, reclamation projects may have great effect on the deformation of the existing underground pipeline. In this paper, the engineering specification method and the finite element method are used respectively for the pipe deformation calculation of the application of platform on piles to handle such underground pipeline deformation control. The results show that the application of platform on piles can effectively diminish the settlement deformation of the existing underground pipe. Co mparing the two calculation results and the monitoring results, the finite element calculation results are more in line with the actual. By appropriately increasing the width of the platform and the pile spacing, the initial design program can achieve a more optimal solution.
