Evaluation of Reinforcement Effects for Earth Cliff of Jiaohe Ancient City

The author adopted an in-situ test method of artificial arthquake survey to evaluate reinforcement effects of fissure grouting for earth cliff of Jiaohe ancient city in China. Based on field testing results of three fissures with different characteristics, we compared previous earth cliffs with reinforcement ones by means of grouting. Analysis results show that it is feasible to reinforce cliff by means of the composite method reported by authors, which jointly applies the grouting of Polystyrene (PS) material and the anchoring technology for fissure earth-cliffs of Jiaohe ancient city. Meanwhile, the composite method of reinforcement could obviously improve the integral strength of potentially dangerous cliffs. This means PS material should be a safety media to apply into the reinforcement and the author’s method could be helpful to protect the ruins of Jiaohe ancient city.

Reclaimed soil is the key substrate for land reclamation and ecological restoration in the mine areas. The change of the density of reclaimed soil of the nonmetallic mines in Xinjiang during the land reclamation process was studied in this paper. Firstly, the in situ test method of static load was used to simulate the compaction of reclaimed soil with different thickness of overlying soil by different compaction times of mines reclamation machinery, and field in situ test compaction data were obtained. Then, the numerical simulation method was used to simulate the variation process of displacement and porosity at different depths for different thickness of the reclaimed soil under different compaction conditions. The numerical simulation and the in situ test results verified each other to acquire the compaction process and results of reclaimed soil under different compaction. The results showed that the numerical simulation results were consistent with the in situ test. The reclaimed soil thickness and compaction times were crucial factors affecting the compaction effect of the soil. The difference between the three times compaction and the uncompacted soil was obvious, and the effect of single compaction was weakened with the increase of compaction times. Under the same compaction action, the thicker the soil was, the less obvious the compaction effect would be. In the process of reclamation, the compaction effect of the surface part (at the depth of 10 cm) was visible, and the amount of compression and springback was larger. The research results can provide a reference to the land reclamation of nonmetallic mines in Xinjiang, China.

Test Pile

The traditional static load test method has been considered as the most direct and reliable method to determine the bearing capacity of single pile, but it has some disadvantages, such as inconvenient operation, laborious test, high cost, and being time-consuming. In this paper, a new type of pile testing method, self-anchored pile testing method, was proposed, and the in situ test was carried out for the first time. This method allows the upper and lower piles to provide force to each other and does not occupy other construction spaces. It had the advantages of simple operation and being economical and practical. Based on the Q-w curve, axial force distribution curve, and hyperbolic function model of load transfer, this paper studied the evolution law of friction of self-anchored test pile and the load transfer process of self-anchored test pile. The results show that the load transfer process of self-anchored pile-soil interface can be divided into three stages: elastic, elastic-plastic, and limit state. The friction of the upper and lower piles starts from the bottom of each pile and then gradually increases. The soil around the upper and lower piles gradually undergoes nonlinear deformation and shear failure, and the pile soil reaches the yield state. By analyzing the hyperbolic function model of load transfer, it shows that the hyperbolic function model can be better applied to the self-anchored test pile, which has reference value for the selection of the function model of self-anchored test pile in the future.

The effective reinforcement depth was the main design basis of dynamic consolidation. The concept and affecting factors of the effective reinforcement depth were analyzed in the paper. The evaluating standards and determining methods were also summarized. The effective reinforcement depth could be determined from the field test and the in-situ test index. Three kinds of methods could be used to determine the effective reinforcement depth: field testing method, numerical simulation method and formula method.

Method Analysis

AbstractA series of forced vibration tests were conducted on a proto-type pile foundation which is built in the Tainan Science-Based Industrial Park and is modeled on the foundation type of Taiwan High Speed Rail. The test method, analysis procedure and results of test are briefly introduced in this paper. Besides, a finite element method by using the computer program ABAQUS is used to simulate the test. Results obtained are in good agreement with the results of in-situ test, and both are helpful for understanding the characteristics of the ground responses of the site and for identification of the soil-structure interaction of Taiwan High Speed Rail foundation system.
