<p>The use of helical foundations to support structures on peat soil is still a new method. Research is needed to develop this foundation. There are 6 types of helical foundation tested on peat soil. To study the effect of helical plate diameter, plate diameters were varied with sizes 25 cm (M), 35 cm (L), and 45 cm (G). Plate positions (1, 2, 3 plates) are designed at 300 mm spacing. The axial compression bearing capacity test is carried out based on the constant rate of penetration procedure. At the beginning of loading, the load increases significantly. At a certain descent, the load begins to decrease slowly. The load-settlement curve shows that the larger the plate diameter, the greater the load it can withstand. The largest bearing capacity is produced by the GGG 30 foundation (3 plates dia.45 cm), which is 10.83 kN. LLL 30 helical foundation (3 plates dia.30 cm) provides a bearing capacity of 7.14 kN. These results clearly explain that the increase in plate diameter is directly proportional to the increase in the axial compression bearing capacity.</p>

Peat is a kind of soil with a very low bearing capacity and high compressibility. Generally, a building construction on peat is done by using a wooden pile foundation. However, the length of the wooden piles is sometimes limited and causes the friction strength between the soil and wooden piles to became suboptimal. In order to enhance the bearing capacity of the foundation, the cross-sectional area of the foundation needs to be enlarged. One of the solutions for this problem is through helical piles. There are two methods to determine the helical pile`s bearing capacity, i.e. individual bearing and cylindrical shear methods. In this paper, bearing capacity prediction was discussed. A foundation load test was thoroughly done by a constant rate of penetration. This test consisted of compression and tension tests. The result was analyzed by individual bearing and cylindrical shear methods and next compared to each other. The result of the analysis has shown that the individual bearing method was more suitable in predicting helical piles’ bearing capacity since it produced the lowest error rate, with a magnitude of 21,31%.

Abstract The use helix pile foundations in supporting structures on peat soil has became a challenge for road infrastructure. The helix pile foundation is an alternative for substituting the pile foundation if hard soil is located too far from the surface. Therefore, in this study we examine the bearing capacity of the helix pile foundation on peat soil, including analyzing the effect of the number of helix plates on the bearing capacity of the peat soil. The type of foundation used is a helix pile foundation with a single blade, double blades and triple blades. From the results of the research the bearing capacity of helix double is 35% greater than the bearing capacity of a single helix, the value of triple helix bearing capacity is 25% greater than the double helix and 70% of the single helix. The more number of helix plates used, the greater the bearing capacity of the piles given.

Aiming at the rock-socketed pile in the soft rock area, this paper studies the inherent constitutive relationship between the vertical restraint stiffness at the pier bottom and the bearing capacity of the pile foundation. A new method to evaluate the bearing capacity of the pile foundation is proposed. Based on the Rayleigh energy method and the Southwell frequency synthesis method, the analytical expression of the vertical vibration fundamental frequency of the pier was calculated, and the constraint stiffness expression of the pier bottom was derived. By investigating the impact of parameters on the bearing capacity coefficient of the pile foundation, the fitting formula of the bearing capacity coefficient was obtained by multiple linear regression. Then, with this method, the vertical fundamental frequency of the pier was obtained through a field dynamic test to calculate the vertical constraint stiffness and evaluate the bearing capacity of the rock-socketed pile in the soft rock area. This method can overcome the shortcomings of the traditional static load test method, such as the high cost, long cycle, and poor representativeness. Finally, this method’s accuracy was verified by comparing field measurements and finite element simulation results. The results show that the difference between the code design constraint stiffness and the constraint stiffness by the frequency synthesis method was about 0.7%, and the bearing capacity difference between the analytical solution and the numerical simulation was small. The new method is accurate and effective.

In view of the problems of large stress and severe bearing heating in double-drum winch at present, this paper adopted a new method to enhance bearing capacity for double-drum winch by adding anti-pressure wheels between two drums. Finite element methods were used to analyze the strength of 4000kN-traction double-drum winches with anti-pressure wheels and without anti-pressure wheels respectively. The results of the analysis revealed that the stress of the cylinder bearing decreased from 264MPa to 167MPa. The new method by adding anti-pressure wheels had remarkably improved the endurance of the bearing. Therefore, the design method can be widely used in large-traction double-drum winch.
