In this paper, a series of model tests about the trapezoidal filling structures filled with tire reinforced concrete particles has been conducted to study their stability and the ultimate bearing capacity. The effects of the reinforcing tire slices on the global stability and ultimate bearing capacity of the model were investigated, the results show that the tire slices reinforcement can reduce the total settlement of the trapezoidal filling structure, and the ultimate bearing capacity of the reinforced trapezoidal filling structure with tire slices is obviously improved. Among them, the settlements of crushed concrete particles reinforced with bottom layer, top layer, and two layers (both bottom layer and top layer) waste tire slices are 11.5%, 37.7%, and 46.2% less than that of unreinforcement, respectively. Compared with unreinforcement, when the top layer of the model is reinforced with tire slices, the Earth pressure values at the top layer and the bottom layer are reduced by 21.1% and 22.7%, respectively; the Earth pressure values at the top layer and the bottom layer are reduced 6.3% and 14.3%, respectively, when the bottom layer of the model is reinforced with tire slices, and the Earth pressure values at the top layer and the bottom layer are reduced 23.4% and 32.9%, respectively, when the two layers of the model are reinforced with tire slices. The sliding surface of the pure concrete particles filled trapezoidal structure is continuous and runs through the whole trapezoidal filling structure slope; the sliding zone of reinforced trapezoidal filling structure with tire slices decreases with the laying of tire slices.

Vertical static load test is widely used in the determination of pile bearing capacity, the mathematical model used to fit test pile data in determining the bearing capacity is essential. From the perspective of analytic geometry, the paper analyzes the traditional method of hyperbola, of which the asymptotic line of equilateral hyperbola was used to determine the ultimate bearing capacity. By extending the equal-axed conditions, a more general form of hyperbolic equation is derived and feasibility of such method is also analyzed, which indicates that the maximum point of curvature in such hyperbolic curve can determine the ultimate bearing capacity and such method is proved to be reasonable in practical projects.

Prestressed high-strength concrete (PHC) pipe piles have been widely used in engineering fields in recent years; however, the influencing factors of their ultimate bearing capacity (UBC) in multilayer soil need to be further studied. In this paper, a static load test (SLT) and numerical analysis are performed to obtain the load transfer and key UBC factors of pipe piles. The results show that the UBC of the test pile is mainly provided by the pile shaft resistance (PSR), but the pile tip resistance (PTR) cannot be ignored. Many factors can change the UBC of pipe piles, but their effects are different. The UBC of the pipe pile is linearly related to the friction coefficient and the outer-to-inner diameter ratio. Changes in the pile length make the UBC increase sharply. Low temperatures can produce freezing stress at the pile–soil interface. The effect of changing the Young modulus of pile tip soil is relatively small.

The static load test of composite foundation was simulated by using the nonlinear finite element programs, and the changes of the pile-soil stress ratio and the pile and soil settlements as well as the plastic deformation of composite foundation were analyzed. The simulation results show that: the cushion of flexible pile composite foundation can effectively regulate the pile-soil stress ratio and make the bearing capacity of the lime soil pile and the soil between piles give full play at the same time. The cushion has a distinct role in reducing the pile settlements, however, has little effect in reducing the soil settlements. The reasonable cushion thickness is about 300mm. The composite foundation will emerge local shear failure when it reaches the ultimate bearing capacity. Reducing the pile spacing can increase the ultimate bearing capacity, and the rate of increase shows a gradually increasing trend.

This paper discusses the Ultimate Bearing Capacity of a stabilized soil by using the fly ash, stone dust and rubber powder for design of a pavement. This paper will help in utilization of locally available waste materials to reuse in the subbase and subgrade layers of pavement. Rubber powder is a waste byproduct generated from the recycling of tires, and is not so easy for degradable, and hence leads to release of harmful gases when it tends to burn. Stone dust is a locally available waste generated product from quarries. The generation of stone dust is increasing day to day in large quantity. The huge quantity of stone dust storage amount will affect the quality of soil. Fly ash is waste combusted coal ash powder generated from the steamers of coal boilers with the burning of fuel gases together. In the sub grade layer the soil is mixed in different proportions with stone dust for hard foundation. In the sub base layer the soil is stabilized with the combination of rubber powder and fly ash. When the rubber powder and fly ash, mixed with water for compaction generates a bond between the soil particles to settle the air fields. In this paper various percentages of rubber powder, stone dust and fly ash with different samples for pavement is layered, and after that plate load test is conducted upon it.

Large-scale deep excavation may affect the bearing capacity of piles inside the excavation zone. It does not only cause the loss of friction, but also change the stress state of the subsoil. In this paper, nonlinear finite element technique is employed to investigate the bearing capacity of piles influenced by the deep excavation. Parameters of soil are obtained by back analysis on the pile static load test results. The bearing capacity of the piles during excavation is analyzed by performing FEM modeling under three conditions using the calibrated parameters. The numerical study shows that the loss ratio of vertical bearing capacity of pile foundation caused by excavation unloading is 34%.

The Spider Net System Footing (SNSF) is a raft foundation system that commonly used in Indonesia. It contains a plate, downward ribs system for reinforcement, and the compacted filled soil. The ribs are in longitudinal and transversal, called as settlement rib and in diagonal direction, named as construction rib. This paper explores the load transfer mechanism along the plate, the ribs, filled soil and the base soil under the footing system. The mechanism is investigated by conducting full scale static load test on SNSF. Strain gauges were installed to monitor the strain increment of each footing elements during loading. 3D numerical analysis was also conducted to verify the experimental results. To analyze the results, Load-Ultimate Ratio Factor (L-URF) was proposed. L-URF was a ratio between ultimate soil bearing capacity of the SNSF and the applied loading at specific element. Higher the L-URF value means higher loading applied at its associate element. Both experimental and numerical results show that at the first stage the loading was fully carried out by the tip of the ribs and transferred to the soil stratum under the footing system. Increasing the loading, the ribs, plate, and filled soil altogether sustain the loading and then transferred to the soil stratum below the footing system. The results also affirm that SNSF generate higher bearing capacity compare with simple shallow footing.

Various new type scaffolds have been introduced and developed in China. They are novel in structure and economic in material, but their security and reliability can not be ignored. This paper introduced a new chained formwork support frame with nine upright tubes and many cross-braced connections. Firstly, the load test of the support frame was performed in order to observe the failure process and to determine the ultimate bearing capacity. Then, the strength and stability of both single upright tube and a cross-braced rod were checked according to the existing specifications on scaffolds. Finally, a finite element software ANSYS was used to establish a solid model for the support frame. The structural stability was analyzed and the ultimate bearing capacity was calculated. The comparison between the computational and experiment results was carried out. The results show that the ultimate bearing capacity of the new chained formwork support frame is controlled by the structural stability.
