Analysis of the Pile Foundation Calculation Results Given the Action of an Earthquake and Soaking of the Loess Base

Investigating the bearing performance of the foundation under the combined effects of flood scouring and soaking

“…Understanding the variation in foundation bearing performance under the combined actions of scouring and soaking is essential for effective flood control and resistance in mountainous regions.Current research on the bearing performance of foundations during flooding primarily focuses on two aspects: degradation of foundation soil properties due to scouring and soaking. Scholars utilize experimental observations and numerical simulations to analyze the mechanical properties of specimens under soaking action, revealing the deterioration mechanism [12][13][14][15][16] . The Scouring effect is also being studied, with formulas proposed for erosion depth at building corners 11 and masonry structural 17,18 performance under the coupled impact of…”
