Effects of Shape Parameters on Deformation Characteristics of Carrier Pile

Abstract

There are many uncertainty factors which can influence the carrier pile design and construction, some of them can lead the deformation characteristic of carrier pile more complex, especially the carrier pile shape parameter. Based on the on-site testing results and the finite element simulation conclusion, the paper studied the effects of shape parameter on deformation characteristics of the carrier pile from the aspect of bottom head size, pile diameter size, gravel soil zone size, etc. The research found that increase the size of the bottom head and the size gravel soil zone can reduce the amount of deformation to a certain extent; the effect of pile diameter size increase on reducing the deformation is not obvious.
