Numerical Analysis on the Bearing Capacity of Single Pile in Deep Excavation Area

Article Preview

Abstract:

Large-scale deep excavation may affect the bearing capacity of piles inside the excavation zone. It does not only cause the loss of friction, but also change the stress state of the subsoil. In this paper, nonlinear finite element technique is employed to investigate the bearing capacity of piles influenced by the deep excavation. Parameters of soil are obtained by back analysis on the pile static load test results. The bearing capacity of the piles during excavation is analyzed by performing FEM modeling under three conditions using the calibrated parameters. The numerical study shows that the loss ratio of vertical bearing capacity of pile foundation caused by excavation unloading is 34%.
