The Settlement Computation of Composite Foundation of Different Typed-Pile Based on the Load Test
The three kinds of the typical pile type are selected, which containing flexibility pile (e.g. rammed cement-soil pile is for short RCSP), rigid pile (e.g. cement-flyash-gravel pile is for short CFGP) and loose material pile (e.g. sand-gravel pile is for short SGP). The seven kinds of the composite foundation are designed, which are CFGP, CSP and GP composite foundation, CFG long pile and sand-gravel short pile (for short CFGLP-GSP), CFG long pile and CFG short pile (for short CFGLP-CFGSP), CFG long-short pile and rammed cement-soil short pile (for short CFGLP-RCSP) , and CFG core pile rammed cement-soil loop pile (for short CFGCP-RCSP) combined composite foundation. According to the load-settlement curves to determining the increment deformation modulus of the every load step, the layer-wise summation method to calculate the settlement of composite foundation is given, and the calculation results and the load-settlement curves are consistent.
