Progressive Deformation on Defective Pile Reinforced Slope

Abstract:

The slopes reinforced by anti-slide piles were simulated in this paper. The setting position, pile spacing and anchorage depth of integrated piles were discussed with strength reduction method. The results show that the pile position should depart slope into two stages, and the further strain would be limited. When the spacing of the anti-slide piles is 2-3 times of pile diameter, it has a soil arching effect to wedge the soil. The anchorage depth can affect the form of the potential sliding surface. Three kinds of defective piles were studied to research deformation of slope reinforced by defective piles. The defective piles were namely expanded pile, necking pile and segregationpile. The equivalent plastic strain zone was used to judge the slope failure, and then the stability and deformation process of the three-dimensional slope were simulated. By comparing the plastic strain, safety coefficient curve and pile-soil stress curve, between the defective pile and integrated pile, the progressive failure process of the reinforced slope was analyzed, including the formation process of the macroscopic shear zone.
