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。     

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.     

Numerical investigation of soil plugging inside open-ended piles with respect to the installation method

The development of a soil plug inside an open-ended pile with respect to the installation method is examined using numerical simulations. In this paper, the penetration process of an open-ended tubular pile with diameter D = 61 cm into granular soil is investigated. The aim is to achieve a better understanding of the mechanisms of soil plugging inside open-ended piles with respect to the installation method. As an example, the horizontal stress distribution inside the tubular pile after installation shows significant increase depending on the installation method. The numerical results are compared to experimental data.     

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。     

开口管桩高频振动贯入过程的ALE有限元分析

任意拉格朗日-欧拉(ALE)方法吸取了拉格朗日和欧拉法的优点,避免了常规有限元中拉格朗日方法的网格畸变问题,适用于开口管桩高频振动贯入过程的计算分析。采用ALE有限元方法,建立开口管桩高频振动贯入过程的数值模型,对沉桩过程中挤土效应、桩侧阻力和土塞效应的变化规律进行了详细研究。研究结果表明:挤土应力主要沿径向传播,且深层土体受到的挤土应力比浅层土体大;水平挤土位移随管桩贯入深度的增加而增大,而最大水平挤土位移与管桩贯入深度存在累积效应;挤土效应的影响范围约为10倍管径,因此在施工过程中要给以足够重视;桩外侧摩阻力随贯入深度增加呈近似线性增长,桩内侧摩阻力随贯入深度增加而呈非线性增长,增长速率随贯入深度增加而逐渐增大;管内土塞处于不完全闭塞状态,土塞程度由完全非闭塞向部分闭塞过渡。此外,研究了土体模量、桩土界面摩擦系数、振动频率和桩径对土体位移的影响。     

基于桩身应力测试的静压PHC管桩贯入机制

压桩过程中PHC管桩侧摩阻力与端阻力的分离是制约其贯入机制及承载力研究的瓶颈。通过桩身预埋准分布式FBG光纤传感器,对贯入成层土地基中5根足尺开口PHC管桩侧摩阻力及端阻力发展变化情况进行了监测。试验表明,准分布式光纤传感测试技术现场可操作性强,粗放施工环境下贯入阻力分离效果较为理想。成层土地基中压桩力曲线基本反映地层土性变化,桩端土层性状对压桩力影响较大。硬质土层界面处试桩压桩力平均增幅约为64.06%,端阻力受地层变化影响更为显著,平均增长幅度约为97.41%,侧摩阻力平均增长幅度约为17.92%;桩端位于非硬质土层试桩压桩力变化不明显。贯入过程中现场足尺试验桩身应力变化不同于室内模型试验,桩身上、下部侧摩阻力发挥的力学机制不同。受现场粗放施工条件及深度方向土层变化影响,贯入成层土地基中桩侧摩阻力临界深度现象不明显。     

珊瑚礁地层中PHC桩原位静载试验研究

珊瑚地层是钙质砂和礁灰岩的统称。在珊瑚地层中开展预应力高强度混凝土管桩（PHC桩）的原位堆载测试,分析了桩?珊瑚地质的相互作用规律。采用光纤光栅传感技术采集加载过程中的试桩桩身应变,由计算获取桩身轴力,分析加载过程中珊瑚地层中PHC桩基础的承载特性。试验结果表明,（1）桩?土响应处于线弹性阶段;（2）桩的承载发挥状态与入土深度显著相关,且入土深度超过15倍桩径时桩端阻力发挥峰值;（3）桩的安装方式几乎不影响其在珊瑚地层中的承载性能,但贯入能量的大小则显著影响;（4）入土深度和贯入能量的大小,影响珊瑚地质的破碎程度,颗粒破碎显著影响珊瑚地质中桩的承载发挥特性。通过原位测试可知在珊瑚地质中在贯入深度在15倍桩径以内,入土深度与桩端阻力正相关,与桩侧摩阻力反相关。     

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。     

双层高岭黏土中沉桩特性模型试验

为了揭示黏土中静压沉桩的宏观力学特性,采用西澳大学的梁式离心机压桩系统,通过在双层高岭黏土中进行一系列1g重力场情况下的T-bar触探测试试验、静压沉桩试验、桩拉伸试验和压缩试验,对比分析了T-bar分别在均质软质黏土和双层黏土中随贯入深度变化测得的不排水剪切强度的特性;研究了桩体在贯入过程中沉桩阻力、桩端阻力以及桩侧摩阻力的发展规律;并对桩身径向总应力在沉桩过程中的变化规律进行了探讨;此外,还揭示了不同桩型沉桩终压力与桩承载力之间的关系。结果表明：在黏土中沉桩时,桩侧摩阻力在整个沉桩阻力中发挥主要的作用;对于同一土层而言,当桩超过土层分界面以下2D（D为桩径）范围后,桩端阻力并不受相邻土层性质的影响;随着压桩后时间的推移,桩侧摩阻力对承载力的时效影响较桩端阻力大。     

不同成桩工艺条件下冻结粉土中基桩承载性状试验研究

桩基础作为冻土工程中最适宜的基础形式,主要采用插入桩、静压桩和灌注桩三种桩型,因其成桩工艺不同对冻土地基及桩基自身造成的差异不一。为研究不同成桩工艺对冻土地基及基桩承载性状的影响,通过开展室内-1.5 ℃条件下单桩静载模型试验,分析在冻结粉土中不同成桩工艺对地温场、桩基极限承载力、桩身轴力以及桩侧摩阻（冻结力）的影响规律。试验结果表明：灌注桩对桩周地温场扰动剧烈,桩侧温度较高,地温变化幅度大。随着桩周土体的回冻,地温逐步降低,其中灌注桩桩侧降温速率最大;在承载力方面,2根灌注桩的极限承载力约为12.8 kN,静压桩为11.6 kN,插入桩极限承载力最小,仅为钻孔灌注桩的2/3。并对比4种不同成桩工艺的基桩在不同荷载条件下对应的沉降量,体现出成桩工艺对基桩沉降造成的差异性;随着桩顶荷载的逐级增加,桩侧摩阻（冻结力）和桩端阻力逐渐发挥作用,桩身上部1/3由于温度较低,致使桩侧摩阻（冻结力）较大,在10 cm深度附近温度最低,使桩侧摩阻（冻结力）达到最大值;并对比4种不同成桩工艺的基桩在荷载5.6 kN下轴力沿桩身的传递情况,发现静压桩更易把荷载传递到冻土区深层地基。     

Numerical analysis of soil plug behaviour inside open-ended piles during driving

The plugging mechanism of infinitely-long open-ended piles is examined using numerical simulation of the wave propagation inside the soil plug and pile. It is shown that the key parameters for the plugging mechanism are the pile radius, the shape of the impact load, the shear wave velocity of the soil inside the pile, and the friction at the pile–soil interface. Consequently, the tendency of the pile to plug during driving can be assessed prior to the driving process by consideration of these key parameters. Existing one-dimensional models for the shaft response of open-ended piles are discussed and an improved model is presented. The differences between using one-dimensional models and finite element models to simulate the plugging process are examined. The differences are found to vary with the key parameters. Pile-in-pile and lumped-mass one-dimensional models are found to give satisfactory performance for some parameter combinations, while for others an axisymmetric finite element model must be used. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

基于有效应力法的静压桩时变承载力研究

基于天然饱和黏土地基中静压沉桩扩孔问题的弹塑性解,以沉桩结束后桩周土体的应力状态为初始条件,推导了桩周孔压消散的解析解。在此基础上,考虑桩周土体再固结过程中的土体松弛效应,提出了采用有效应力计算天然饱和黏土中静压桩时变承载力的理论方法。通过已有离心模型试验和现场试验结果对该方法进行了验证,研究了沉桩结束后静压桩承载力随固结时间的变化规律。结果表明,提出的理论方法合理考虑了土体的原位力学特性、沉桩效应及沉桩结束后土体有效应力的变化,因而可以较好地预测静压桩的时变承载力。该研究成果为合理确定黏土中静压桩承载力提供了理论依据,具有一定的理论和工程意义。     

An Experimental Study on Bearing Capacity of Steel Open Ended Pipe Pile with Exterior Wings Under Compression Load

The present study investigates the increasing in ultimate pile capacity and studied the soil plugging phenomenon and the incremental filing ratio for a modified type of open-ended pipe pile. The modification performed by adding steel plates as wings with special dimensions and fixed on the exterior face of the pipe pile wall at a location near the pile tip with specified dimensions. Five wings have used for each new model of pipe pile. These wings distributed in equal spacing along with the circumstances of the exterior wall of the open-ended pipe piles. The efficiency of the proposed type studied by modelling and manufacturing twelve piles (40 mm diameter, L/D = 15 and L/D = 20). Complete setup manufactured for installing and loading the piles in a constant rate of penetration. The model piles installed in poorly graded loose dry sand. The obtained results show that the proposed type has a higher ultimate bearing capacity. The percentage of increase reaches more than 50%. The development of the load capacity is due to the three effects. The first is increases of the exterior shaft friction, and the second effect creates a new end-bearing capacity under the constrained soil between the exterior wings. And the third effect is developing the end-bearing capacity under the soil plug inside open-ended pipe pile due to the first and the second effects.

     

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。     

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。     

Numerical investigation of pile installation effects in sand using material point method

The installation of displacement piles in sand leads to severe changes in the stress state, density and soil properties around the pile tip and shaft, and therefore has a significant influence on the pile bearing capacity. Most current numerical methods predicting pile capacity do not take installation effects into account, as large deformations can lead to mesh distortion and non-converging solutions. In this study, the material point method (MPM) is applied to simulate the pile installation process and subsequent static pile loading tests. MPM is an extension of the finite element method (FEM), which is capable of modelling large deformations and soil-structure interactions. This study utilizes the moving mesh algorithm where a redefined computational mesh is applied in the convective phase. This allows a fine mesh to be maintained around the pile tip during the installation process and improves the accuracy of the numerical scheme, especially for contact formulation. For the analyses a hypoplastic constitutive model for sand is used, which takes into account density and stress dependent behaviour. The model performs well in situations with significant stress level changes because it accounts for very high stresses at the pile tip. Numerical results agree with centrifuge experiments at a gravitational level of 40 g. This analysis confirms the importance of pile installation effects in numerical simulations, as well as the proposed numerical approach’s ability to simulate installation and static load tests of jacked displacement piles.     

开口桩中土芯形成、影响因素及判别方法研究

开口桩打桩过程中桩端土体进入桩管内形成土芯,土芯在大直径钢管桩、新研发的大直径现浇混凝土薄壁筒桩的作用不容忽视,通过闭塞效应土芯会提高开口桩的承载力,减小桩的沉降量。比较分析了目前国际上两种土芯闭塞效应定义方法,研究认为,从土芯破坏机制出发定义土芯是否产生闭塞效应更为合理;并从土芯的形成出发,探讨了影响土芯形成及闭塞效应的各种因素,如桩径、桩端土的承载力、土芯与桩内壁的摩阻力等,此外还应考虑桩端土体侧向水平应力的影响。最后讨论了ICP方法中砂土及黏土中开口桩土芯闭塞效应的判别方式,认为该判别方式过于粗略,不能很好地反映土芯闭塞情况。     

Critical Review of the Hypervib1 Model to Assess Pile Vibro-Drivability

The vibratory driving technique is used for driving piles, sheet piles, tubes and rods into the ground by imparting to the element a longitudinal periodic motion. The small amplitude vibrations induced by the equipment reduce the ground resistance which allows penetration under the action of a relatively small axial force. The technique offers an alternative to impact driving due to lower installation costs and reduced environmental disturbance (noise, vibration, etc.) especially in sensitive environments, such as industrial and urban sites or offshore wind farm sites. The vibratory technique is also preferred when the maximum stress levels imparted to the driven element are of concern. Despite the advantages of the vibratory driving technique, its application remains however mainly driven by pragmatic aspects. Within that context, the access to experience databases and full-scale field test results is of valuable interest. The aim of this paper is to review the Hypervib1 model developed by (Holeyman 1993) for assessing the vibratory drivability of piles and sheet piles, based on the analysis of such experimental results. New findings and developments brought to the model are discussed. Conclusions in terms of reliability of the method are finally drawn.     

考虑沉桩效应的群桩非线性荷载-沉降解析

考虑沉桩效应对桩周土体力学特性的影响,采用指数函数型荷载传递曲线分别建立了静压桩的桩侧和桩端荷载传递模型。在此基础上,根据群桩加载过程中桩周土体的变形模式,基于荷载传递法描述桩-土界面的非线性行为,采用剪切位移法考虑群桩之间的相互作用,提出了考虑沉桩效应的群桩非线性荷载-沉降混合计算方法。通过开展离心模型试验对该计算方法解答进行了验证,研究了沉桩效应和桩-土界面非线性特征对群桩承载特性的影响。研究结果表明,沉桩效应对桩周土体起到挤密作用,使得桩周土体的强度和刚度增大,从而提高了群桩的承载特性。群桩加载过程中桩-土界面刚度随沉降变形而逐渐减小,使得群桩荷载-沉降曲线呈现出明显的非线性特征。     

厚垫层-砂桩复合地基现场试验研究

以瓯江北口大桥南锚碇巨型沉井场地地基处理为科研背景,研究厚垫层-砂桩复合地基的适用性及其承载力的影响因素,针对不同的垫层材料、垫层厚度和砂桩间距共进行了9组静载试验。为得到砂桩施工对周围已完成砂桩的影响程度,还进行了砂桩施工相互影响试验。试验结果表明：厚垫层-砂桩加固软土地基效果非常好,是大型沉井地基处理较为理想的方式;垫层含水率、垫层材料和垫层厚度对其承载力的影响程度均大于砂桩间距;砂桩施工过程对周围已完成砂桩的影响和对周围土体的影响具有很大差别,利用传统沉桩挤土理论分析砂桩施工对周围已完成砂桩的影响将产生较大偏差;砂桩施工对周围已完成砂桩会产生较大影响,最大影响范围主要集中在地表以下1/3桩长范围内,影响程度与土层的种类和性质有密切关系,土性越好,影响程度越小;可利用增大砂桩间距和已有砂桩的阻隔效应减小影响程度。
