The Difference

Anti-slide pile is one of the most frequently used measures in landslide control globally. Pile-spacing has always been determined by the load capacity of single piles or according to engineering empirical experience. Many engineering practices and laboratory experiments show that the soil arching effect exists in landslide control with anti-slide piles. In this study, we aim to calculate pile-spacing in terms of the soil arching effect. We investigated the pile-soil interaction mechanism and propose that, at the limit, the pile-back soil arch resists landslide thrust only. According to Mohr–Coulomb strength theory and limit equilibrium theories, we derived a new pile-spacing calculation equation. We verified the derived pile-spacing calculation equation with real projects. The calculated results are similar to those of practical engineering designs, in which the difference is within 10%. The equation can be used in anti-slide pile preliminary design. This study can be a reference for pile-spacing calculation based on the soil arching effect.

Slope Reinforcement

This study explores the pile-soil interaction mechanism and the optimal use of antislide piles for slope reinforcement based on finite difference numerical modelling. The force and displacement principles of slopes and antislide piles are analysed. The influences of various factors are investigated, such as postpile filling parameters, pile embedding methods, and pile cross-sectional shapes. Numerical modelling is used to determine the optimal layouts of antislide piles for push and traction landslides. The findings indicate that the cohesive force of the fill has a greater influence on the piles and slope than the friction angle and is the primary control factor. Fully buried antislide piles provide a better antisliding effect than semiburied ones. With fully buried piles, the best controlling effect is obtained when the ratio of the length of the pile’s free section to the height of the sliding body is approximately 4/5. Moreover, stepped-cross-section piles provide better slope reinforcement than those with rectangular, T-shaped, or trapezoidal cross-sections. In practical applications, end-bearing arches can be utilized as the primary control structures, with friction arches used for secondary control to improve the soil arching effect as much as possible, thereby enhancing the stability of the piles and slope. To control landslides of various thrust forms, antislide piles should be set in the active section, the core sliding section, or both, as required. This paper provides guidance for improving the design of antislide piles.

The soil arching effect is an important premise for anti-slide piles to exert the retaining ability. Pile space is an essential factor for the design of piles and is related to the soil arching behind piles. However, previous studies rarely considered the friction soil arching effect between piles and regarded the axis stress uniformly distributed. In this research, a method considering end-bearing soil arching and friction soil arching simultaneously was proposed to calculate the reasonable pile spacing. The said method considered the general shear failure and the yielding failure of these two soil arching. The yielding stress of inner-edge point and outer-edge point at arch-foot of the end-bearing soil arching were taken into consideration respectively. Based on the ultimate balance theory, the controlling equations of pile spacing were established. The case study showed that the method in this research conforms better to practice compared to previous researches. Matlab programming was employed to realize the automatic calculation.

In recent years, Anti-slide pile has been widely used in soil reinforcement works, but the pile soil interaction is not very clear. Numerical simulation was used in this article to analyze the soil arcing effect between anti-slide piles in non-cohesive soil and the main influencing factors, such as soil horizontal pressure, pile spacing and so on were also analyzed. The results show that there has soil arching in non-cohesive soil, and the soil arching effect becomes significantly with the horizontal earth pressure increases, but when the pressure increases to a certain degree, the soil arching will be damaged. The pile spacing is also a major factor to affect the soil arching effect, increases with the pile spacing, the soil arching effect gradually weakened.

Chamber earth pressure is one of the significant parameters during the Earth Pressure Balance (EPB) shield construction processing. The soil arching effect is existence when the tunnel depth is enough. It is significant to consider the influence of arching effect to analyze the pressure in soil chamber in shield tunneling. In this paper, the influence of arching effect is considered to calculate the chamber earth pressure. Firstly, the soil is supposed as loose media, and the necessary buried depth of producing arching affects is deduced according to the loose media theory. Then, based on the characteristic of proper arching axis, the equation and the height of proper arch are obtained. At last, the calculation formula of minimum chamber earth pressure of EPB shield tunnel is deduced which can consider the effect of arching effect.
