By using ABAQUS software to conduct numerical simulation and model test of pile-bucket under mono-loading of up-pulling force and horizontal force, then make comparison of both results to testify the accuracy of finite calculation model. Then by numerical simulation to study bearing capacity of pile-bucket foundation under combined loading of up-pull and horizontal force. The result shows the pile-bucket foundation horizontal displacement will increase with the increase of up-pulling force at the limit horizontal load, and the horizontal displacement becomes more obvious as the up-pulling load increasing if providing greater horizontal loading force. Before the up-pulling force reaches the limit, horizontal load will not affect up-pulling displacement; after the up-pulling force reaches the limit, the horizontal load can slightly reduce the up-pulling displacement of pile top. The effect of up-pulling load increase on horizontal displacement is obvious for pile depth in soil at 0~15m, but very tiny for pile body with buried depth over 15m.

Test Study

In order to study how it influence the horizontal bearing capacity of the disk pile when there exists a vertical load, a group of model tests has been designed. Three double-disk piles were used in the test, and the distance of the two disks is 5 times as the disk diameter. First drew a vertical load V=200N/300N/400N on the top of pile1/2/3 respectively, then put on the horizontal load stage by stage. And by the test, we can study the differences of the pile bearing properties such as changes in the pile bending moment, the horizontal and vertical deformation on the top. Experiment showed that when the vertical load is quite small（V=200N、300N）, the existence of vertical load has little to do with horizontal bearing capacity. When a vertical load increases to a certain value（V=400N）, The maximum bending moment and horizontal displacement of the pile under the same horizontal load reduce, which indicates that the disks of the pile play a significant role in bearing combined loading.

The regular pattern of the lateral friction transmission is one of the most critical influences on the ultimate uplift bearing capacity. The pile foundation in the incline under the pulling force has a wide variety of characteristics which is different with the normal pile. Numerical simulation is done by the use of FLAC3D in this paper. The regular pattern of the lateral friction transmission of the pile in the incline under the pulling force is studied. And the influence factors on the lateral friction transmission such as the slope gradient, the length and location of piles are discussed. The results show that the incline has a great influence on the lateral friction transmission. The lateral friction which is away from the incline-side is about 30% to 50% bigger than the incline-side. The slope gradient and the location of piles all have a great influence on the lateral friction transmission.

The differences in development and situation of karst caves lead to two kinds of karst caves, and the karst cave may be on the pile side or at the pile bottom, which has a different influence on the bearing capacity of pile foundation. The paper presents a numerical analysis of the influence of karst caves at pile side on the bearing capacity of super-long pile foundation in karst areas. According to the size of pile foundation of a real bridge project, this paper modelized karst caves and investigated the karst cave from the effect of length, height, and thickness of roof on horizontal and vertical bearing capacity of pile foundation. The main conclusions can be drawn as: when the horizontal displacement at the top of pile foundation is greater than 0.05 m, the horizontal load is correlated positively with the length of karst cave; when the vertical displacement is greater than 0.07 m, the vertical load is correlated negatively with the thickness of the roof of karst cave. However, the height of karst cave has little effect on the bearing capacity; also the existence of karst cave has little influence on the dynamic response of pile foundation. The results of this study can be important with reference to the design and construction of pile foundations in karst areas.

It is a complicated progress of interaction between pile and soil when pile is under both vertical load and horizontal load. This paper analyzes the variation of stress, strain, deformation and deflection of the pile body by finite element numerical simulation of single bored concrete pile under vertical load together with horizontal load. Based on the existing research results, conclusions could be that the vertical load can increase horizontal bearing capacity of the pile in sandy soils, but horizontal bearing capacity of the pile in clayey soils is more complicated. Hope that the simulation can provide some references for the design of pile foundation.

Vertical Bearing Capacity

A group of model tests were designed to study the effect of horizontal load on the vertical bearing capacity of disk pile. Three double-disk piles were used in the test, and the distance of the two disks is 5 times as the disk diameter. Drew a horizontal load H=100N/200N/300N on the top of pile1/2/3 respectively, and put on the vertical load stage by stage, then studied the differences of three piles’ bearing properties such as changes of the pile bending moment, the horizontal and vertical deformation on the top, and soil pressure around the pile. Experiment showed that when the horizontal load is quite small, the existence of horizontal load has little to do with vertical bearing capacity. When the load reached a certain level, the p-∆ effect under the vertical load will significantly affect the vertical bearing capacity of the pile. Especially during the initial time while there is a large horizontal displacement or rotation generated by the horizontal load, the pile’s bearing capacity is controlled by the horizontal displacement.

In order to study the bearing characteristics and failure mechanism of the rigid antislide pile under horizontal load, the stress of rigid antislide pile under transverse axial large displacement load is analyzed by using elastic-plastic theory, finite element analysis, and model test. The theoretical formula of the proximal plastic earth pressure near the pile with the depth of soil under the horizontal force is obtained. The results show that the standard is insensitive to the variation of soil parameters and the influence of soil parameters on allowable soil resistance in front of pile should be considered. With the increase of the horizontal force of the pile top, the soil near the pile is destroyed in this process gradually, which is the decline of the cross section of the maximum soil resistance of the pile. When the horizontal displacement of pile top is 20 mm and 70 mm, the soil resistance value and the ultimate soil resistance value in front of the pile can be selected, respectively. The plastic zone develops to the front and bottom of the pile at the same speed, at an angle of 45° with the direction of gravity. When the displacement reaches 34 mm, the plastic zone develops to the deeper depth obviously. The results can provide a theoretical basis for the design and application of antislide piles during the process of slope protections.

The composite bucket foundation for offshore wind turbine bears the vertical load from not only the superstructure and the horizontal load, caused by wind and wave, but also from the torque load caused by rotating structures, such as blades. Based on layered soil foundation, the influence of the skirt height, the friction coefficient between soil and bucket foundation and the diameter of the bucket foundation on the stress of the bucket skirt under the torque load are studied in this paper. Moreover, the envelope curves of the bearing capacity of H–T and V–H–T are obtained by the fixed displacement ratio loading method. The bearing capacity characteristics of composite bucket foundation under different loading combinations are analyzed. The results show that: (1) The effect of inside soil on the bucket skirt is greater than that of the outside soil; (2) when composite loads are applied, the torque-bearing capacity decreases slowly with the increase of horizontal force, and when the horizontal force increases to a certain value, the value of the torque decreases significantly; and (3) the shape of the H–T failure envelope of the bucket foundation has no obvious change, vertical load have less effect on horizontal and torque load.

The local series system with typical common plate rubber support/pier in highway reinforced concrete girder bridge is the object of the current research. The finite element numerical simulation method is used to study sensitive parameters – the mechanical properties of the series system under the horizontal load. The simulated results show that the interface bonding strength between the bearing and adjacent structure is reduced; the equivalent shear deformation and the horizontal force of bearing under horizontal load change insignificantly with the increase of horizontal displacement. However, the total shear deformation and equivalent shear deformation increase with the increase of the axial compression ratio. In addition, the top horizontal force and displacement of the pier significantly decrease with reduction of the connection strength at both ends of the bearing. Therefore, adjusting the axial compression ratio of the pier and interfacial connection mode can obviously affect the mechanical properties of the support and adjacent structure, even the failure mode of the local structure. This approach can help estimate the mechanical properties of the existing bridge and determine the reasonable maintenance plan.
