Moisture Content's Influence to Pile Bearing Capacity and Finite Element Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

This essay analyzes stress between pile and soil, occupying moisture content data of unsaturated soil in Nanchang with ANSYS. In accordance with engineering practice, it adopts three-dimensional solid model, the same geometric size with engineering practice. It simulates interrelation between pile and soil with contact unit, and shows ontology relation of soil with D-P elastic-plastic model. Convergence has been made with selection and calculation of parameter. The greater the moisture content gets, the smaller the pile body vertical displacement makes. In other words, the smaller the relative displacement between pile and soil gets, the lower the lateral extrusion stress from pile to soil becomes. Keywords: unsaturated soil; shear strength; pile bearing capacity; finite element analysis; moisture content
