Research on Application of Suction Bucket Foundation for Transmission Tower in River Network Area

Abstract:

Because the suction bucket foundation is construction period and low cost advantages,application of suction bucket foundation is more and more widely. In this paper, whether the suction bucket foundation can be used as the basis of transmission tower in river area were studied.According to the working mechanism of bucket foundation in soft clay ground and characteristics, through ABAQUS finite element simulation, bearing capacity under the pressure and uplift ultimate draw suction bucket foundation, and compare with the experimental results, verify the feasibility and accuracy of simulation.According to the transmission requirements of bearing capacity of the foundations,design the basic size,and verify whether the requirements of bearing capacity of foundation, confirmed the suction bucket foundation can be applied to the area of river network transmission tower.
