Investigation of Bearing Characteristics of High-Cap Pile Foundation under Inclined Load

Abstract:

To analyze the characteristics of bearing capacity of high-cap pile foundation under inclined load and investigate the influence of vertical and horizontal component on the foundation at different loading angles, based on the background of the Yellow River Crossing project, a three-dimensional finite element model of high-cap foundation is simulated and analyzed with the finite element software ABAQUS. The conclusions are shown as follows: Under the same displacement condition, when the load inclination angle α from 0°(horizontal load) to 80°, the horizontal direction bearing capacity of the foundation increases from 684.8kN to 759.9kN, increases by 10.97%. Expands of vertical load component will affect the pile group effect, the shear force of the back row piles increases with the load inclined angle.
