Effect of Flexible Pile on Rigid Flexible Pile Composite Foundation with Geogrid Reinforced Cushion

Article Preview

Abstract:

Compared with pile-supported reinforced embankments, rigid-flexible pile composite foundation with geogrid reinforced cushion (RFPCFGRC) has its advantage of its economics. Piles play an important role in rigid flexible pile composite foundation with geogrid reinforced cushion. The bearing mechanics of RFPCFGRC is more complicated than that of pile-supported reinforced embankments because of addition of flexible piles. This paper discussed the diffence and the bearing mechanics of the two types of composidte foundation. The results show that addition of flexible piles has changed bearing mechanics of composite foundation and changes the load distribution among piles and soil. Soil arching degree of RFPCFGRC is larger than that of pile-supported reinforced embankments.
