Research on Calculation Method of Internal Force Caused by Seasonal Temperature Difference in All-Vertical-Piled Wharf

Abstract:

When the wharf structure is completed, the temperature is different with the one at the usage period. The temperature difference will lead to the temperature strain, and create the lateral deformation and internal forces of the piles. Based on the assumption of the free temperature difference of beam-slab-system, the spatial simplified calculation model of the foundation pile and the stiff platform about the temperature stress in all-vertical-piled wharf is first proposed, the related calculation method is also given. The numerical example shows that the accuracy of this simplified method could meet the demand of preliminary design. In order to reduce the pile-top internal forces, the foundation piles should be arranged symmetrically. The pile-top internal forces are in direct proportion to the forth power of the pile diameter, with the increase of the pile diameter in all-vertical-piled wharf, the analysis of the temperature stress must be taken seriously.
