Analyzing on Bearing Performance Influence Factors of Step Cross-Section Pipe Pile

Abstract:

In order to improve the bearing behavior and the bearing capacity of single pipe pile, the technology of step cross-section pipe-pile is proposed.Based on FLAC3D, the finite difference model of the pile-soil interaction established,bearing behaviors of step cross-section pipe pile and unimate cross-section pipe pile is studied comparatively and bearing performance influence factors of step cross-section pipe pile is discussed.The results show that the bearing capacity of step cross-section pipe pile is much higher than unimate cross-section pipe pile in the same geological conditions and material dosage. For layered foundation, the bearing capacity of single pile may be improved by setting variable cross-section pile joint in relatively hard soil. But the depth of joint embedded in hard soil has little influence on bearing capacity of single pile.There is an obvious effect on increasing capacity of single pile by improving soil properties of soft soil surrounding pile.
