成层土中轴横受荷桩水平响应的非线性解

对于承受轴向荷载的水平受荷桩,以往研究大多基于线弹性或弹塑性水平荷载传递模型。为提升轴横受荷桩的计算设计水平,采用轴向荷载传递法计算桩身轴力,考虑桩身轴力引起的P-Δ效应,基于双曲线型水平荷载传递模型考虑桩-土体系变形的非线性特征,对成层土中轴横受荷桩的水平响应进行分析求解,得到了轴横荷载作用下桩身变形和内力的非线性有限差分解,并采用MATLAB语言编制了计算程序。使用模型试验算例与基于现场试验的有限元算例对非线性解的准确性进行对比验证,结果表明:计算结果与算例数据吻合良好,可靠性较高;采用不同荷载传递模型的计算结果在不同荷载水平下有所差异,在较大荷载水平下桩-土变形的非线性特点不容忽视。     

深基坑内撑式支护结构计算的综合刚度和双参数法

将吴恒立提出的用于合理计算桩顶作用水平集中荷载的推力桩的综合刚度原理和双参数法,延伸应用于作用有水平分布荷载（土压力）的深基坑围护结构上,提出其杆系有限元数值解法,对一深基坑内支撑式支护结构实例的开挖和支护过程中的各个工况进行了数值模拟分析,由实测位移试算反分析得到了合理的墙-土的综合刚度和地基土抗力双参数,与现有方法计算结果对比表明,该方法能使所得结果更接近实测值。从而说明,综合刚度原理和双参数法的杆系有限元数值解能更为可靠的计算深基坑内支撑式支护结构,具有参考应用价值。     

坡顶面复合荷载刚性短桩工程设计要素分析

位于斜坡顶面的复合受荷桩,除受水平及竖向荷载共同作用产生的交叉影响外,还需考虑边坡效应,其承载力特性存在多种影响因素相互交叉作用,复杂程度远高于水平地面受荷桩。本文采用三维有限元软件对坡顶复合受荷桩进行多方面的数值模拟分析,研究发现同级荷载下随复合荷载加载角度增加其极限承载力呈先减小后增大的规律;竖向荷载对桩身水平位移的影响大于其对内力的影响;桩周均布土压力增大将使得桩身位移及内力随之增大;随临坡距增加边坡的影响作用将减小。     

水平受荷长桩弹塑性计算解析解

当考虑桩侧土体非线性本构关系时对水平受荷桩的计算一般需采用数值方法,解析结果相对较少。基于Winkler地基模型和桩侧土体简化的弹塑性本构关系,对均质地基中水平荷载作用下桩头嵌固的长桩进行了解析推导,得到了桩身最大挠度及最大弯矩与荷载关系的统一解析表达式,并采用相同的方法求得高桩情形下桩头挠度的计算式。计算表明,联合荷载作用下桩身泥面处的挠度和转角不等于单个荷载作用时的线性叠加,采用常规的线性叠加法计算将偏于不安全。所求解析式借助计算器即可进行最大挠度和最大弯矩的计算,大大方便了工程的计算应用。     

水平受荷桩的弹性有限元虚拟加载上限分析

基于将塑性上限分析等效为弹性迭代计算的总量虚拟加载上限分析理论,在商业化有限元软件ABAQUS中实现了弹性有限元虚拟加载上限方法（弹性有限元T-EMSD）。应用弹性有限元T-EMSD法分析了不排水黏土中的二维水平受荷桩,其获得的荷载-位移曲线与弹塑性有限元分析结果一致,其极限承载力与塑性解相近。在极限位移加载量下弹性有限元T-EMSD法对应的上限机构从弹性始速度场开始随迭代逐渐演化,迭代收敛后的速度场和解析塑性破坏机构相似。与其他基于可变强度概念（MSD）的方法相比,弹性有限元T-EMSD法对水平受荷桩桩身的分析具有更高的精度。弹性有限元T-EMSD法最大的优势在于可在计算中自然地获得塑性机构,因而可被用于研究一些塑性机构难以构造的复杂问题,并对弹塑性数值方法进行验证。     

横向荷载下桩-土相互作用的无网格分析

基于新型的岩土工程数值分析方法--无网格Galerkin法,利用移动最小二乘法所具备的局部化技术,引入不同材料介质之间材料不连续问题的无网格求解方法,对横向荷载作用下桩-土相互作用特性进行了无单元数值模拟分析,并采用MATLAB语言编制出相应的计算程序,由此对不同荷载作用大小、桩周土性质及桩-土刚度比等因素对桩身受力变形特性的影响进行了对比分析,获得了一些定性的结论。工程实例应用结果表明,这一方法在精度和后处理方面比传统的有限元等数值方法更具优势,且计算结果与通用有限元软件ANSYS计算结果吻合良好。     

堤坝软土碎石桩复合地基计算参数研究

目前确定碎石桩复合地基参数时,工程界常采用碎石与原状土参数按平面面积占比叠加的简化方法进行计算,对其适用条件较少关注。以卢旺达那巴龙格河二号水电站高土石坝深厚覆盖层软弱地基处理项目为背景,基于PLAXIS有限元平台,对不同面积置换率下含碎石芯软黏土复合试样进行三轴固结排水试验数值模拟,经室内三轴试验验证了数值模拟方案的合理性。对软土碎石桩复合地基的桩-土作用机制和土体硬化模型计算参数进行研究,将所获参数应用于坝基的变形分析,并与传统参数叠加法和碎石桩墙法进行对比。结果表明：采用数值复合试样法确定的土石坝软土碎石桩复合地基参数是合理的,在计算复合地基沉降时误差小;传统参数叠加法低估了软土碎石桩复合地基的沉降,仅适用于低应力水平、高面积置换率的情况,并且会高估复合地基的强度参数。采用数值复合试样法参数对坝基变形的二维有限元分析表明,根据坝体高度不同采取不同置换率的碎石桩分区加固地基的优化方案是可行的。     

双层地基水平受荷桩受力变形分析

基于双层地基中的水平受荷桩的特性,对其受力变形进行了分析。将水平受荷桩视为竖直放置的弹性地基梁,基于Winkler弹性地基梁理论,考虑桩土共同工作得到水平受荷桩位移控制微分方程及其幂级数解答,进而根据内力与位移的连续条件得到了由桩顶受力及变形条件表示任一深度处桩身的水平位移、转角、弯矩及剪力的计算矩阵表达式。通过一具体算例将幂级数解计算结果与《公路桥涵地基与基础设计规范》推荐的简化计算公式计算结果进行了比较。结果表明：当第1层地基土的厚度在某一定值时,《规范》简化计算方法所得结果与幂级数解接近;但当层厚不在该值附近时,两个方法计算结果存在差异。     

基于能量法的轴横向荷载作用下单桩受力变形分析

轴向和横向荷载作用下单桩的受力变形分析是桩基研究的重点内容之一。单桩在水平荷载作用下会产生一定的水平位移与弯矩,而此时作用轴向荷载会使得桩体出现一定的压曲与附加弯矩,以致轴横向荷载作用下的单桩受力变形与单独作用水平荷载或轴向荷载的单桩存在较大的区别。故本文基于能量法,首先分别建立轴横向荷载作用下单桩的受力变形能量方程以及桩周土体能量方程,然后考虑桩土变形协调与一定的桩土相互作用,基于最小势能原理得到单桩变形控制微分方程,并采用幂级数法进行求解,最终得到轴横向荷载作用下单桩受力变形分析的幂级数解答。通过编程计算,将本文方法计算结果与试验结果、数值分析结果、规范法计算结果进行对比分析,验证了本文方法的合理性和可行性。在此基础上,基于本文解答进行了影响参数分析,结果表明:桩体长径比、桩土弹性模量比、桩周土模量深度变化系数均对轴横向受荷单桩的桩身水平位移与最大弯矩值有一定的影响,其中桩周土模量深度变化系数以不小于0.6为宜。     

水平受荷壁板桩群桩的变分法分析

将壁板桩桩身水平位移用有限级数函数表示,地基土体的荷载位移关系用Mindlin点对点的位移解表示,同时考虑桩前水平土阻抗力和桩侧水平摩阻力沿桩周分布的不均匀性,采用双重高斯数值积分法将基于变分原理建立的壁板桩群桩体系的总势能展开为简单的矩阵形式方程,并根据最小势能原理得到水平受荷壁板桩群桩荷载位移关系的显式解答。与三维有限元方法计算结果的对比验证了所提出解答的合理性。     

Finite layer analysis of laterally loaded piles in cross-anisotropic soils

This paper presents a finite layer method for the analysis of laterally loaded piles in isotropic and cross-anisotropic layered soils. Excellent agreement is found between the isotropic solutions computed by the finite layer method and the more rigorous finite element method. Some theoretical solutions are presented to demonstrate the effect of soil anisotropy. Two full scale field case histories have been analysed by the method using isotropic and cross-anisotropic soil models.     

A simplified analysis method for piled raft foundations in non‐homogeneous soils

A simplified method of numerical analysis based on elasticity theory has been developed for the analysis of axially and laterally loaded piled raft foundations embedded in non‐homogeneous soils and incorporated into a computer program “PRAB”. In this method, a hybrid model is employed in which the flexible raft is modelled as thin plates and the piles as elastic beams and the soil is treated as springs. The interactions between structural members, pile–soil–pile, pile–soil–raft and raft–soil–raft interactions, are approximated based on Mindlin's solutions for both vertical and lateral forces with consideration of non‐homogeneous soils. The validity of the proposed method is verified through comparisons with some published solutions for single piles, pile groups and capped pile groups in non‐homogeneous soils. Thereafter, the solutions from this approach for the analysis of axially and laterally loaded 4‐pile pile groups and 4‐pile piled rafts embedded in finite homogeneous and non‐homogeneous soil layers are compared with those from three‐dimensional finite element analysis. Good agreement between the present approach and the more rigorous finite element approach is demonstrated. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Numerical analysis of axially loaded vertical piles and pile groups

A numerical method, based on a simplified elastic continuum boundary element method, is presented for the settlement analysis of axially loaded vertical piles and pile groups. The soil flexibility coefficients are evaluated using the analytical solutions for a layered elastic half space. Results are presented and compared with existing published solutions for the following cases: (i) piles in homogeneous soil, (ii) piles in finite soil layer, (iii) piles end-bearing on stiffer layer, (iv) piles socketted into stiffer bearing layer, and (v) piles in Gibson soil. Reasonably good agreement is obtained between the present solutions and existing published solutions.     

Three-dimensional finite element analysis for soil slopes stabilisation using piles

This paper presents the analytical methods of slope-stabilising piles using the three-dimensional (3-D) finite element (FE) analysis with the strength reduction method (SRM). This 3-D FE model is employed to overcome the limitations observed in two-dimensional (2-D) FE analysis. The solutions obtained from 3-D FE analyses are verified to be less conservative in this paper. The 3-D analysis is considered to be of particular importance to pile-slope problems. The soil that flows between piles cannot be taken account properly in the 2-D FE analysis. The method adopted in this paper can avoid the assumption of soil movement and the pressure distribution along the piles subjected to soil movement. The numerical analysis employs the Mohr–Coulomb failure criterion with the strength reduction technique for soil and an elastic member for piles. The spacing effect of the pile is considered in the 3-D model, the S/D (S: centre to centre, D: diameter of pile) ratio, equal to 4.0, is found to be equivalent to the single pile stabilisation. The middle portion of the slope is identified as the optimal location to place the piles. The proper length of the pile, which can be used to stabilise the slope, is also examined using 3-D FE analyses. It is concluded that L/H greater or equal 0.70 is recommended (L: pile length, H: slope height). The numerical analyses are conducted based on a coupled analysis, which simultaneously considers both the slope stability and the pile response. The failure mechanisms of the pile-slope system subjected to the pile locations, pile head conditions and pile length are each discussed. The contact pressure, shear force and moment along the piles are presented to illustrate the pile stabilising mechanism herein.     

Numerical modeling of dredging effect on berthing structure

Piles and diaphragm wall-supported berthing structure on marine soils are loaded laterally from horizontal soil movements generated by dredging. The literature on the adequacy of the finite element method modeling of berthing structure to analyze their behavior during dredging is limited. This paper describes a finite element approach for analyzing the lateral response of pile and diaphragm wall during dredging. Piles are represented by equivalent sheet-pile walls and a plane strain analysis using the finite element method is performed. Results from the finite element method are compared with full-scale field test data. Full-scale field test was conducted on a bearing structure to measure the lateral deflection on pile and diaphragm wall for their full length using inclinometer during dredging in sequence. The finite element method results are in good agreement with full-scale field results. Conclusions are drawn regarding application of the analytical method to study the effect of dredging on piles and diaphragm wall-supported berthing structures.     

Axial and lateral response of pile groups embedded in nonhomogeneous soils

A numerical method of analysis based on elasticity theory is presented for the analysis of axially and laterally loaded pile groups embedded in nonhomogeneous soils. The problem is decomposed into two systems, namely the group piles acted upon by external applied loads and pile–soil interaction forces, and a layered soil continuum acted upon by a system of pile–soil interaction forces at the imaginary positions of the piles. The group piles are discretized into discrete elements while the nonhomogeneous soil behaviour is determined from an economically viable finite element procedure. The load–deformation relationship of the pile group system is then determined by considering the equilibrium of the pile–soil interaction forces, and the compatibility of the pile and soil displacements. The influence of soil nonlinearity can be studied by limiting the soil forces at the pile–soil interface, and redistributing the ‘excess forces’ by an ‘initial stress’ process popular in elasto-plastic finite element analysis. The solutions from this approach are compared with some available published solutions for single piles and pile groups in homogeneous and nonhomogeneous soils. A limited number of field tests on pile groups are studied, and show that, in general, the computed response compares favourably with the field measurements.     

Nonlinear analysis of laterally loaded rigid piles in cohesive soil

This article presents a method for the nonlinear analysis of laterally loaded rigid piles in cohesive soil. The method considers the force and the moment equilibrium to derive the system equations for a rigid pile under a lateral eccentric load. The system equations are then solved using an iteration scheme to obtain the response of the pile. The method considers the nonlinear variation of the ultimate lateral soil resistance with depth and uses a new closed‐form expression proposed in this article to determine the lateral bearing factor. The method also considers the horizontal shear resistance at the pile base, and a bilinear relationship between the shear resistance and the displacement is used. For simplicity, the modulus of horizontal subgrade reaction is assumed to be constant with depth, which is applicable to piles in overconsolidated clay. The nonlinearity of the modulus of horizontal subgrade reaction with pile displacement at ground surface is also considered. The validity of the developed method is demonstrated by comparing its results with those of 3D finite element analysis. The applications of the developed method to analyze five field test piles also show good agreement between the predictions and the experimental results. The developed method offers an alternative approach for simple and effective analysis of laterally loaded rigid piles in cohesive soil. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

软土地层高承台桥梁群桩基础横向承载特性研究

高承台群桩基础是高速铁路桥梁基础的一种常用形式,受到风、地震等荷载作用影响,常常需要承受较大的横向荷载。采用室内物理模型试验和三维有限元程序ABAQUS对软土地层中单桩、群桩的横向承载特性进行了研究,软土采用修正剑桥黏土本构模型,试验结果与有限元计算结果吻合较好。群桩研究方案包括了桩数的变化以及桩间距的变化。结果表明,群桩基础的基桩平均横向承载力（总承载力/桩数）较单桩基础显著增加,且水平荷载方向桩间距越大,其横向承载力越大;群桩基础基桩受力存在三维空间效应,不同位置基桩受力大小排序为角桩最大,其次为边桩,最小为中间桩,弯矩极值差异可达20%,群桩基础桩周土影响范围距外围基桩边缘净距离约为16D (D为桩径)。桩与桩相互影响效应对群桩水平承载不利,承台约束效应对水平承载有利。探讨了考虑上述两种效应的群桩效应系数计算方法,通过计算验证了该方法在软土地区高承台群桩基础横向承载力计算中的适用性。
