Numerical Analysis of Passive Pile due to Excavation

Article Preview

Abstract:

An elasto-plastic total stress finite-element computational model is established in two dimensional space to study pile response due to excavation-induced soil movement on the basis of the general-purpose finite element software ABAQUS. And the soil is assumed to be a uniform normally consolidated clay layer. Influences of various parameters including undrained shear strength of soil, excavation depth, strut stiffness and distance from excavation on pile response are investigated. The results indicate that the excavation-induced soil movement is critical for adjacent piles and increasing the undrained shear strength of soil and distance from excavation face would be helpful to control passive pile responses.
