A study of the effect of driving on pre‐bored piles

A finite element model for pile‐driving analysis is developed and used to investigate the behaviour of pre‐bored piles, which are then driven the last 1.25 or 2.25 m to their final design depth. The study was conducted for the case of saturated clays. The model traces the penetration of the pile into the soil and accommodates for large deformations. The non‐linear behaviour of the clay in this study is predicted using the bounding‐surface‐plasticity model, as applied to isotropic cohesive soils. The details of the 3‐D numerical modelling and computational schemes are presented. A significant difference was observed in the pile displacement during driving, and in the computed soil resistance at the pile tip, particularly at the earliest driving stages. No difference in soil resistance at the soil pile interface along the pile shaft was detected between the pre‐bored piles whether driven 1.25 or 2.25 m. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

锚杆静压桩技术在既有建筑物增设地下空间中的应用

运用锚杆静压桩技术在既有建筑物中增设地下空间是可行的,一方面可利用既有建筑物的自重荷载作为压桩的反力,另一方面将压好的桩作为临时托换构件支撑的既有建筑物,建筑物下方的土体才可以开挖。对于黏性土,采用逐根压桩的方案,把所有桩压至设计标高后,待超孔隙水压力消散,才开挖承台下的土体。对于砂性土,可以边开挖土方边压桩,通过控制压桩和挖土速度,很好地控制建筑物的沉降。桩身四周的土体开挖后,其稳定性按照自由长度较大的高承台桩的模型进行分析。锚杆静压桩的压桩阻力是根据土层动力触探的指标确定的,锚杆静压桩的数量根据使用阶段、施工阶段的荷载以及桩身自由段的屈曲稳定性综合确定。按照新旧混凝土界面初始滑移承载力,进行承台的抗冲剪设计是有足够的安全储备的,此时冲剪承载力由几个斜向混凝土柱承担,而承台的下部受拉。锚杆静压桩之间的沉降差会在上部结构中产生附加内力,影响到结构安全。沉降差的计算采用分层总和法,计算时应考虑桩身的重力荷载、桩顶集中荷载等产生的附加应力以及土体开挖附加应力的减少。     

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.     

格林函数表象积分对打桩排水的计算

在动力作用下饱和桩周土排水会对基桩工程性质产生很大影响,研究桩-土动力作用的排水计算很有必要。通过连续介质力学方法,利用两相饱和介质Biot动力方程固相与流相频域格林函数解答,结合排水状态Lamb表象积分,得到集中力作用下饱和土圆柱基桩排水量计算公式。按该公式计算了江苏省金坛市开发区联合中策橡胶项目基地在打桩施工中基桩的理论排水量,并与现场实测排水量对比,发现计算与实际测试的排水量相对误差较小,实际工程桩测试的平均每击排水量期望值为4.82 L,与计算排水量相对误差为34%。可以认为,该方法用于动力作用下饱和土基桩排水计算是合适的。但由于计算是在桩-土弹性系统的假定下进行的,没有考虑土的非线性变形影响,有待于进一步研究,使其更加符合实际。     

软土中已打入桩对土体位移的遮帘作用研究

采用侧向移动土中桩的理论分析结果以及有限元数值模拟,较为系统地分析了沉桩工程中已打入桩对土体侧向位移及地表隆起的遮帘作用,结果表明已打入桩对土体侧向位移的总体遮帘作用并不显著。采用不同切向劲度系数的接触面单元以模拟已打入桩间隔时间长短对地表隆起的遮帘效应,结果表明：打入桩间隔期较短时,已打入桩对地表隆起的遮拦作用主要体现在对土体位移的“水平阻隔”上,土体沿桩土界面发生流动向上隆起;而间隔期较长时,桩土间存在有较大的摩阻力而限制了土体的位移,此时已打入桩对地表隆起的遮拦作用体现在竖向摩阻力对土体隆起的“抑制”上。

新桩贯入对邻近再利用既有桩的影响

Estimation of bearing capacity of open-ended model piles in sand

The plugging of pipe piles is an important phenomenon, which is not adequately accounted for in the current design recommendations. An open-ended pipe pile is said to be plugged when the soil inside the pile moves down with the pile, resulting in the pile becoming effectively closed-ended. Plugging is believed to result in an increase in the horizontal stresses between the pile and the surrounding soil, which results in an increase in skin friction. A total number of 60 model pile tests are carried out to investigate the behavior of plugs on the pile load capacity and the effects of plug removal. Different parameters are considered, such as pile diameter–to–length ratio, types of installation in sands of different densities, and removal of the plug in three stages (50, 75, and 100 %) with respect to the length of plug. The changes in the soil plug length and incremental filling ratio (IFR) with the penetration depth during pile driving show that the open-ended piles are partially plugged from the outset of the pile driving. The pile reached a fully plugged state for pressed piles in loose and medium sand and partially plugged (IFR = 10 %) in dense sand. For driven piles, the IFR is about 30 % in loose sand, 20 % in medium sand, and 30 % in dense sand. The pile load capacity increases with increases in the length of the plug length ratio (PLR). The rate of increase in the value of the pile load capacity with PLR is greater in dense sand than in medium and loose sand. Based on test results, new empirical relation for the estimation of the load carrying capacity of open-ended piles based on the IFR is proposed.     

砂土中开口管桩沉桩过程的颗粒流模拟研究

基于颗粒流理论,采用PFC2D程序,模拟再现不同型号开口管桩在沉桩过程中土塞的形成演化规律、土颗粒细观结构变化以及桩周土应力场分布情况,并通过分析土体细观变化模式揭示沉桩过程中宏观力学响应的内在机制。计算结果表明,管桩直径对土塞效应影响很大,外径为30 mm的开口管桩,沉桩过程中土塞增量填充率（IFR）值较小,土塞效应明显,土塞高度小,类似闭口桩;随着管桩直径的增大,土塞效应迅速减小,大直径管桩在砂土中沉桩全部闭塞的可能性很小。细观因素（孔隙率和滑动比例）与土体宏观位移表现之间存在着明显的相互对应关系,并依此将桩周土划分3个区域。桩周土体水平应力、竖向应力和剪应力都在桩底附近形成“应力核”,不同型号管桩桩周土应力场分布相近。     

基于Gudehus-Bauer模型的砂土中灌注桩护壁套管高频振动贯入速率

随着全套管护壁振动取土灌注桩施工工艺的发展,灌注桩在工程中的应用越来越广泛,但是关于灌注桩护壁套管高频振动贯入速率的研究较少。通过假定套管为刚体,将套管周围土体划分为同心轴的圆环柱体,利用Gudehus-Bauer亚塑性本构模型计算套管外侧各土体单元接触面间的剪应力和套管端部土体竖向应力,并考虑套管振动贯入过程中土塞效应,建立灌注桩套管高频振动贯入砂土中贯入速率的计算模型。将所提出的贯入速率计算结果和物理模型试验结果与有限元结果进行对比分析,验证了计算模型的合理性。通过参数分析,得到地基土体孔隙比、振动频率和套管直径对贯入速率的影响规律,为实际工程中快速、准确地预测套管振动贯入速率提供了可靠方法。     

A simplified analysis method for piled raft foundations subjected to ground movements induced by tunnelling

A simplified method of numerical analysis has been developed to estimate the deformation and load distribution of piled raft foundations subjected to ground movements induced by tunnelling 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, the piles as elastic beams, and the soil is treated as interactive springs. The interactions between structural members, pile–soil–pile, pile–soil–raft and raft–soil–raft interactions, are modelled based on Mindlin's solutions for both vertical and lateral forces. The validity of the proposed method is verified through comparisons with some published solutions for single piles and pile groups subjected to ground movements induced by tunnelling. Thereafter, the solutions from this approach for the analysis of a pile group and a piled raft subjected to ground movements induced by tunnelling are compared with those from three‐dimensional finite difference program. Good agreements between these solutions are demonstrated. The method is then used for a parametric study of single piles, pile groups and piled rafts subjected to ground movements induced by tunnelling. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

海洋石油平台超长桩拒锤分析及工程实例

桩基础是海洋石油平台常用的基础形式,受海上环境的限制通常分段制造、运输和锤击贯入,各桩段通过焊接连为整体,若接桩等造成停锤时间较长,后继打桩可能产生拒锤现象。打桩过程中桩周土体会积累很大的超静孔隙水压力,使桩周一定范围内土体发生水力劈裂现象,导致桩周土体排水固结及强度恢复速度加快,停锤时间越长,土体强度恢复程度越大,造成后继打桩困难甚至拒锤。提出了一种通过疲劳因子? 考虑停锤期间土体强度的恢复,利用GRLWEAP软件计算后继打桩贯入所需锤击数并判断拒锤风险的分析方法。将工程实例和实测结果进行了对比,文中方法计算得到后继打桩贯入锤击数和实测值接近,表明其可行且应用性较强,可为工程设计和施工提供指导。     

Comparison of the load response of closed-ended and open-ended pipe piles driven in gravelly sand

Slow-maintained static load tests were performed on closed-ended and open-ended steel pipe piles driven side by side in a gravelly sand soil profile. The site investigation consisted of multiple cone penetration tests (CPTs) and standard penetration tests (SPTs), as well as laboratory tests on soil samples collected at various depths from the test site to determine basic soil properties. The test piles were densely instrumented with a combination of electrical-resistance and vibrating-wire strain gauges. The open-ended test pile was a specially fabricated double-wall, fully-instrumented pile, allowing for separation of the measurements of the inner and outer shaft resistances. Detailed comparison of the load test results, in terms of driving resistance, load response and profiles of unit shaft and base resistances for the two test piles, is presented and discussed. The applicability of three CPT-based pile design methods is assessed through a layer-by-layer comparison of the estimated resistances with those measured in the static load tests.

     

An analytical solution for the consolidation around a driven pile

Field studies have shown that the driving of a displacement pile into cohesive soil generates large excess pore pressures in the vicinity of the pile. These pore pressures are often larger than the effective overburden pressure and facilitate the installation of the pile. The subsequent increase in bearing capacity of the pile is largely controlled by the dissipation of the excess pore pressures and a consequent increase in the effective stresses acting on the pile. The paper presents a closed formanalytical solution for the radial consolidation of the soil around a driven pile, assuming that the soil skeleton deforms elastically. This assumption is examined in the light of the predicted effective stress changes in the soil and is shown to lead to, a realistic model for the decay of pore pressure near the pile with time after driving. Although the solution may be applied to any initial distribution of excess pore pressure, attention is focussed on that due to the expansion of a cylindrical cavity in an ideal elastic, perfectly plastic soil. The resulting logarithmic variation of excess pore pressure with radius is considered to be close to that generated around a pile as a result of driving. In addition to giving estimates of the time needed for a driven pile to achieve its maximum strength, the solution may also be used in the analysis of pressuremeter tests to provide in-situ measurements of the coefficient of consolidation of the soil.     

薄壁筒桩在温州滩涂土地基处理中的应用研究

以温州浅滩一期半岛起步区首期1#地块为工程背景,对薄壁筒桩、钻孔灌注桩、预应力管桩进行现场静载荷试验,研究结果表明：在滩涂土地区,与钻孔灌注桩、预应力管桩相比,薄壁筒桩不会产生沉渣问题、桩身质量好、挤土效应弱、节约工程造价,承载力及桩顶沉降量均满足滩涂土地基加固要求,更适宜应用于滩涂土地基处理中,且在滩涂土地区,薄壁筒桩不会产生土芯闭塞效应,土芯的存在及桩顶封盖对于提高承载力具有一定的贡献,适当增加筒桩桩长可以提高承载力。     

抗液化排水刚性桩沉桩过程的土压力响应

抗液化排水刚性桩是一种将刚性桩与竖向排水体相结合的新桩型。基于某建筑桩基工程,开展了抗液化排水刚性桩和不含排水体的普通刚性桩的沉桩对比现场试验,采用了动态土压力传感器实时监测沉桩过程中桩周土体内产生的土压力响应,对比了排水桩与普通桩沉桩对桩周土体水平方向应力及有效应力影响的差异。试验结果表明：抗液化排水刚性桩能够有效减小沉桩过程对桩周深部可液化土体的扰动,在桩身近侧（距桩心0.6 m）深部埋深（-15 m）位置,排水桩的水平土压力响应峰值仅为普通桩的1/4;排水桩能够有效降低沉桩对可液化土层有效应力的影响,使桩周土体更加稳定;在单次沉桩过程中,对于浅部埋深（-5 m）,排水桩对桩周土压力峰值的影响作用较小,对于存在可液化土层的深部埋深（-10、-15 m）,排水桩对土压力峰值的有效影响半径可达4倍桩径。现场试验数据为抗液化排水刚性桩的桩间距选择提供了有力的设计参考依据。     

Formulation of the axisymmetric CPDI with application to pile driving in sand

In foundation engineering practice, pile driving is often used as an efficient method to install piles. While large distortions take place along the pile shaft during the installation, the zone around the pile toe experiences compression. In an attempt to fully understand the build up of resistance when driving piles, it is desirable to model the driving process and the corresponding soil behaviour. The non-linear dynamic analysis of this problem is challenging, given the large deformation that develops together with the associated changes in soil properties. Some numerical methods offer the possibility of handling large material movements by utilising Lagrangian and Eulerian frames of references. However, few of these methods are capable of tracing the material displacement, such as the Material Point Method (MPM). Early implementation of MPM assumes that the mass is concentrated at the material points, which causes noise in the solution. Later implementations assign a spatial domain to the material points to mitigate the grid crossing error. The Convected Particle Domain Interpolation (CPDI) is one such implementation.This paper extends the two-dimensional CPDI formulation for an axisymmetric problem where a pile is driven into sand that is modelled as a hypoplastic model. The extended formulation is tested, validated and compared to that for the case of the two-dimensional plane-strain within the framework of the method of manufactured solution. The hammer blows on the pile are represented by a periodic forcing function. In contrast to earlier studies on pile installation using advanced models, deep penetration is achieved in the present analysis. A non-regular distribution for the particle domains is suggested to avoid unnecessary computation. A frictional contact algorithm is introduced to describe the pile–soil interaction.     

软黏土中PHC管桩打入过程中土塞效应研究

当开口管桩打入土层中,土体进入桩内形成土塞,土塞效应对桩的打入特性和承载能力具有重要影响。基于上海典型软土地基中长PHC桩的现场试验,统计分析3个不同场地共44根桩打桩过程中的土塞数据,探讨软土地基中PHC桩打桩过程中土塞长度与内径之比、土塞增量与桩打入深度增量之比(IFR)随打入桩长与内径之比变化的规律,并线性拟合出土塞增量与桩打入深度增量之比与土塞高度和桩打入深度之比(PLR)的经验公式。研究表明,大部分PHC桩在打桩过程中,土塞部分闭塞,桩从浅部较硬土层打入较软土层,IFR值减小,土塞闭塞作用大;桩从较软土层打入深部较硬土层,IFR值逐渐增大,土塞闭塞作用小,且土塞长度增量与桩打入深度增量之比与土塞长度与桩打入深度之比基本呈线性关系。
