abstract: This study evaluates load variations in instrumented prestressed ground anchors installed in a bored pile retaining wall system in sandy soil. Data were collected from instrumentation assembled in the bonded length of three anchors, which were monitored during pullout tests and during different construction phases of the retaining wall system. Instrumentation consisted of electrical resistance strain gauges positioned in five different sections along the bonded length. Skin friction distributions were obtained from the field load measurements. Results showed that the skin friction followed a non-uniform distribution along the anchor bonded length. The mobilized skin friction concentrated more intensely on the bonded length half closest to the unbonded length, while the other half of the bonded length developed very small skin friction. The contribution of the unbonded length skin friction to the overall anchor capacity was significant and this should be accounted for in the interpretation of routine anchor testing results. Displacements applied to the anchor head were sufficient to mobilize the ultimate skin friction on the unbonded length, but not on the bonded length. Performance of loading-unloading stages on the ground anchor intensified the transfer of load from the unbonded length to the bonded length. Long-term monitoring of the anchor after lock-off revealed that the load at the anchor bonded length followed a tendency to reduce with time and was not significantly influenced by the retaining wall construction phases.

A viaduct of the Qinglai expressway fourth contract was artificial excavated piles. The construction technical work was regarded as an example. The technical comparison were done between the artificial excavated pile and the bored pile on the pile foundation bearing capacity and the retaining wall effect . The artificial excavated pile replacing the bored pile was feasible, and the construction technology and the key problems of the artificial excavated piles were confirmed. The references were provided to the similar projects.

Landslide is one of major issue that occurred during rainy season. This problem is straightforward and able to be prevented with installing reinforcement into the designated landslide location prior to sliding failure. It is effective due to the reinforcement cutting through failure plane, hence strengthen the soil body.  By and large, prior to land sliding, several indications are taken into place, such as soil cracking, structural cracking, vegetation movement, etc. By observing this event, one should be aware that further soil movement are very likely to follow afterwards. Consequently, safety precaution shall be taken. This paper presents one case study in Hambalang, Bogor, West Java, Indonesia. In this case, structural crackings are found in several places, especially at the poolside. These are appeared earlier this year, concurrently with very high intensity rainy season which is predicted to be the cause. Analysis is performed to check the current stability of the slope. The result is showing that the Safety Factor value is 1.181, below the allowable value of 1.5. Then, reinforcement is designed as a preventive measure. It is using retaining wall by employing bored pile coupled with sufficiently thick capping beam. From analysis, the safety factor is increased to 1.553 during critical condition. This value is above the criteria of 1.5 and concluded as a safe design. Structural capacity of bored pile is also designed. Accordingly, the retaining wall is constructed on site in final stage

For the support engineering of the deep and large foundation pit (DLFP) due to tomb protection, there are still no clear standards. The construction of DLFP will introduce large-range transverse and longitudinal disturbance on the stratum; therefore, it should be reinforced. In this paper, the reinforcement of the deep and large foundation pit of a national first-class key tomb protection project is studied. By comparing the existing supporting scheme and the stress conditions of the reinforced tomb, the combination reinforcement scheme by bored pile and pile slab retaining wall is found to be safe and feasible. Furthermore, according to the simulated bending moment, displacement, and axial force of the tomb by numerical analysis, an economic and reasonable mixed anchor support scheme is selected. In order to ensure the stability of the tomb during the supporting process of the foundation pit, a maximum value of 10 mm for the overall settlement of the tomb can be treated as the control benchmark based on the support and anchorage schemes in each specification and the in-site measured settlement values of the tomb. The determined support, anchorage schemes, and the control benchmark can provide certain technique guidance and research significance for the protection of similar ancient buildings in the future.

One of the potential applications of bored piles is the construction of a retaining wall where the piles are closely installed and the spacing between them is often grouted to build a waterproof retaining wall. Based on previous experience, it is observed that the selection of an appropriate retaining structure is crucial to the strength and stability of a structure, provided that the design of retaining structure is adequate and it satisfies the structural requirements. This study considers a Malaysian slope, Bukit Antarabangsa, to perform the probabilistic stability analysis of bored piles. Statistical tools of FORM and Monte Carlo are used to demonstrate the influence of soil parameters on the reliability levels of structure. This paper also presents the load and resistance factors which are developed to counter the rotational and flexural failure modes of a bored pile wall. It is expected that this study will provide a support to the Malaysian geotechnical industry to integrate a reliability-based design for slope construction.

Dynamic safety assessment of internal force of retaining wall is of great significance to ensure the safety construction of deep foundation pile, and the key is to get the actual bending moment. The curvature is acquired by curve fitting of retaining wall reformation with the least squared method, and the actual bending moment can be obtained by multiplying the curvature and retaining wall bending stiffness. This method overcomes the difficult that the actual bending moment cannot be directly measured, at the same time, the cost savings would be of great advantage. As the monitoring item of foundation pile which must be implemented, retaining wall deformation has sufficient data, which provide a solid foundation for the engineering application of back analysis of bending moment. This studied the safety assessment of bored pile retaining wall based on back analysis for bending moment and obtained some beneficial conclusions.
