New Method and Application of Negative Friction Resistance Monitoring for PHC Pipe Pile

Abstract:

The theoretical calculation of PHC pipe pile negative friction resistance is difficult to obtain valuable results due to many complex factors involved, such as soil properties, consolidation conditions and actual working environment, so the field monitoring is the only feasible method. The pile negative friction resistance can be got by pre-buried sensors inside the pile to monitor the changes of stress and strain of shaft. However, for PHC pipe pile, the sensors can not be embedded and protected effectively in the process of pile manufacturing, which makes the negative friction resistance of PHC pipe pile become a very thorny problem. Based on the improved field monitoring method and data analysis of sliding micrometer technology, a new method was introduced into the PHC pipe pile negative skin friction resistance testing in this paper. We can got not only the PHC pipe pile negative friction resistance, distribution range and neutral point position with different load or time, but also the strain distribution, axial force distribution, skin friction resistance and toe resistance distribution of pile, etc. The practical engineering application shows that the new method is very effective to monitor PHC pipe pile negative friction resistance and very beneficial to further research on formation mechanism and theoretical calculation of negative friction resistance of PHC pipe pile.
