Comparative Analysis of Bearing Capacity of Inclined and Vertical Excavated Foundation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Excavated foundation has widely used in the field of transmission line engineering because of its large capacity to resist uplift and moment force. Elastic-plastic numerical model were established by using the finite element software ABAQUS focusing on the difference of bearing characteristics of inclined and vertical excavated foundation. There is very slight difference of axial uplift resistances between the both foundations because almost the same soil mass are mobilized at the same displacement loading. However, failure modes and horizontal resistances of negative, positive and vertical foundations are very different. The larger soil mass along the shaft of negative foundation is mobilized than positive and vertical foundations. The uplift resistances of vertical and negative foundations are about 5% and 25% higher than positive foundation at horizontal displacement of 50mm respectively.
