Research Status of Modeling Test on Pile Foundation of Existed Bridge

Abstract

The pile-soil dynamics is an interdisciplinary studies of structural, geotechnical and vibration engineering in the existing bridge. Traffic load model, the developments and status in the existing bridge were reviewed and introduced. The main content and characteristic of pile were summarized in clay, sand, silt and red clay. Main problems existed in the study of cyclic loaders on the piles were discussed. The prospect of future research trend in this field was also examined.

Experimental Research on the Bearing Properties of Service Bridge Pile in Loess Soil

“…The size of the model box [16,[21][22][23]] is 2 m×2 m×3 m, as shown in figure 1. The model box is easy to be assembled and disassembled, the model box bottom and the 3 vertical surfaces were designed as 1m×1m square formed by splicing (shown in Figure 1 (a)), and the other 1 vertical surface was designed as 1m×0.5m square formed by splicing (shown in Figure 1 (b)).…”

“…In this paper, it was based on the similarity theory to design the pile soil model, and the vertical static loading and repeated cyclic loading had been done many times for the test of the pile foundation in Loess [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20], which was to explore the settlement and bearing characteristics of pile foundation under cyclic load.…”
