Calculation of Pile Side Friction by Multiparameter Statistical Analysis

Abstract

In this paper, a static load test and a multiparameter statistical analysis method are used to study the value of pile side friction in different soil layers in a loess region. Currently, static load testing is the most commonly used method to determine the bearing capacity of pile foundation. During the test, a vertical load is applied at the top of the pile, the data under each load level are recorded, and a Q-S curve is drawn to obtain the ultimate bearing capacity of a single pile. Reinforcement stress gauges are installed at different sections of the pile body, and then the axial force and the pile side friction of each section are calculated. Few studies have investigated the calculation of pile side friction in different soil layers using the multiparameter statistical analysis method. Obtaining accurate results using this method will provide an important supplement to the calculation of pile side friction and will also be conducive to the development of theoretical calculation of pile side friction. Therefore, taking Wuding Expressway project in loess region as an example, the lateral friction resistance of six test piles is studied through static load testing and multiparameter statistical analysis. The multiparameter statistical analysis method is compared with the static load test results, and the error is controlled within 20%. The results show that the calculation results of multiparameter statistical analysis essentially fulfill engineering requirements.

Influence of Ground Temperature on Shotcrete-to-Rock Adhesion in Tunnels

“…However, there is no quantitative discussion of the effect of roughness on the interface bearing capacity [71,74,75]. Roughness, as an indicator of rock mechanics, plays an important role in studying the mechanical properties of rock contact surface, and it mainly controls the degree of undulation of the contact surface, which in turn affects the shear bite force and frictional resistance [76][77][78][79][80][81]. Subsequently, the position of the shear plane will also change, ultimately affecting the change in the failure mode.…”

“…Tunnels play an important role in the transportation infrastructure of mountain areas and bring convenience to people's lives [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. In China, at present, the construction of mountain tunnels mainly adopts the drilling and blasting method which is a preferred method of rock excavation worldwide due to low initial investment, cheap explosive, and possibility to deal with different complex geologies [8][9][10].…”
