Vertical loads are commonly transferred by piles primarily in the upper structures. However, lateral loads are also significant compared with vertical loads in pile foundation design. Compared with a pile on level ground, there are many particular characteristics in a pile that is on sloping ground. These characteristics depend on the combined loading and the magnitude of the soil lateral displacement. In order to investigate the pile’s bearing characteristics, a model test was conducted and ABAQUS software was adopted to conduct 3D numerical simulation of a single pile with different slope angles under combined loads. The experimental results indicated that (1) the soil pressure along the slope direction was smaller than the other side, resulting in an asymmetry of the slope soil around the pile, and in turn introducing a horizontal thrust to the pile; (2) with the increase of slope angle, the horizontal thrust increased while the single pile’s bearing capacity decreased; (3) the vertical load caused more pile horizontal displacement with the growth of slope angle; and (4) the pile’s moment and the displacement also increased with the growth of the slope angle. The findings in this study can provide a useful reference in the design of piles or anti-slide piles in sloping ground.

The Stability

In order to ensure the security of gravity retaining wall in the high fill subgrade, the design of gravity retaining wall with anchors is proposed,the characteristic of the new wall is that comment anchors are added to the traditional gravity retaining wall,by friction anchors provide lateral pull to the wall so the stability of the new wall is improved. Because of the constraints of anchors, the lateral free deformation is influenced and the soil pressure distribution is very complicated, field tests showed that soil pressure distribution is nonlinear and pressure concentrate in anchoring position. In order to reveal the supporting mechanism of retaining wall and propose the soil pressure formula, the model test of anchor retaining wall is made and numerical simulation is done. The results show that soil pressure appears incresent above the anchor and decreasing below the anchor, the soil pressre also grew larger away from the anchor proximal in the horizontal direction.

This paper mainly uses the method of model test to study the ultimate uplift bearing characteristics of a single pile with different length-to-diameter ratios, mainly from the distribution laws of the uplift bearing capacity of the pile, the axial force of the pile and the side friction of the pile perform analysis. The model pile is made of PVC pipe, and resistance strain gauges are attached to both sides of the pipe. The strain value of the PVC pipe under different load conditions is measured to obtain the working behavior of the pile during the process of pulling out the pile. The result shows that the model test data is in good agreement with the numerical simulation.

Piles are often constructed on natural slope such as sea bed slope in off-shore structures. When piles are constructed on sloping ground, the behaviour of piles under earthquake loading is different from the piles on horizontal ground surface. The dynamic response of a pile subjected to external excitation is a complex phenomenon resulting from the interactions between the pile and the surrounding soil. In the present study, a finite element analysis of a single field pile located on sloping ground was carried out. A single pile of length 30m with embedment length to diameter ratios (L/D) 20, 25 and 30 was located on a crest of soft clay of slopes 1V:1H and 1V:5H, and subjected to dynamic earthquake loading (California Earthquake,1990). From the study, the behaviour of acceleration with time, lateral displacement and bending moment behavior along the pile shaft was studied.

It is difficult and important to accurately calculate single pile ultimate bearing capacity during pile foundation design. Typical computational methods on single pile ultimate bearing capacity are contrastively analyzed in this paper. Contact element method on single pile ultimate bearing capacity is relatively accurate and economical, but it isn’t used in practical projects until now because its computational process is complicated. 343 different single pile ultimate bearing capacities are calculated with the contact element method in order to study a simple computational formula based on the contact element method. All data calculated are analyzed with a linear recursive multi-analysis program which is programmed with Fortran90. A simple computational formula on the contact element method is presented based on the analysis results. The simple computational formula, the experiential formula in the code, the contact element method and the static load experiment method are respectively used to calculate single pile ultimate bearing capacity in two practical projects in order to test the simple computational formula. The results show that the simple computational formula is relatively accurate. Some advice is presented based on the analysis results.

Abstract Ship collision accidents occur from time to time in recent years, and this would cause serious consequences such as casualties, environmental pollution, loss of cargo on board, damage to the ship and its equipment, etc. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the response of ship motion and the mechanism of structural damage during the collision. In this paper, model experiments and numerical simulation are used to study the ship-ship collision. Firstly, the Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) was used to simulate the fluid-structure interaction for predicting structural deformation and ship motion during the normal ship-ship collision. Meanwhile, a series of model tests were carried out to validate the numerical results. The validation presented that the CEL simulation was in good agreement with the model test. However, the CEL simulation could not present the characteristics the time-dependent added mass.
