Calculation Method of Pile Group Settlement Based on Single Pile Settlement
Zhang Qianqing, Zhang Zhongmiao
2009, 23(1): 1-4,22.
Abstract:
The selection of parameter of single pile settlement can be obtained more easily than the one of pile group. That means, if single pile settlement can be used to estimate pile group settlement, the problem will be easier. The settlement of single pile consists of compressive deformation of pile stem and settlement of pile tip. The compressive deformation of pile stem is calculated by adopting hypothesis of linear-elasticity and settlement of single pile tip is calculated by layerwise summation method. Furthermore, in the process of calculating pile group settlement, the method pays attention to the contribution made by compressive deformation of pile stem. Meanwhile, additional stress of pile tip is obtained by multiplying average stress under platform and coefficient of load transfer. According to similarities and differences of the method of calculating settlement between single pile and pile group, it shows a new way of calculation, which is single pile settlement estimates pile group settlement. This method can makes it easier choose parameter and do calculation. The last part of this paper introduces the application of the new way in calculating the pile foundation settlement of bridge project.

Wang Tao, Fang Zhongqiang, Li Hao
2009, 23(1): 19-22.
Abstract:
As the theory of calculation method of designing load is immature, and the existing calculation model could not calculate the lining structure of multi-arch tunnel exactly, so there is not a united method to calculate the lining structure. Based on the two slumping arches assumption, a load defining method of multi-arch tunnel is put forward. The interaction between mid-board and lining structure is simulated by pressure springs, and the lining structure calculation model of multi-arch tunnel with compound mid-board is established based on load-structure method. Combing the design and calculation of Fenghuang tunnel in Suzhou, the lining structure is calculated by the model, and the reinforcement ration and stress safety factor are calculated, and this could provide useful discussion on the design and calculation of multi-arch tunnel with compound mid-board.

2009, 23(1): 23-25,38.
Abstract:
Trenchless pipeline engineering will form an excavation disturbed zone around piping, and the zone will lead to groundwater flow variation and affect dyke safety. According to an actual engineering example, taking account of such unfavorable factors as highest flood stage and river channel erosion, a groundwater numerical simulation model is built for simulating the maximum groundwater hydraulic gradient. Based on the critical hydraulic gradient method and the safety coefficient recommended by relevant criterion, the quantitative analysis on the possibility of pipeline engineering induce infiltration destruction is study.
Discussion on Significances of Natural Moisture Content and Limit Moisture Contents of Soft Clays
Guo Jinjing, Wang Fang, Zhao Guangpeng
2009, 23(1): 26-29.
Abstract:
Based on the analysis for the differences between the theoretical definitions of w,wP and wL of soft clays and usually used their test values, in consideration of different water forms and their functions in soft clay, it is suggested that w should be redefined as the ratio of total water mass except for strong combined water and soil grain mass, where soft grain means the integrated particles of real soil grains and strong combined water. This definition can avoid the confusion between theoretical definition and test results. The limit moisture contents (wL,wp) and deduced plastic and liquid indexes(IL, Ip) from limit moisture contents (wL, wP) are all obtained from remold soft soil test without considering the effect of the natural structure of soft soils for them. Therefore, it is proposed that introducing a structure coefficient which can get from structural study for soft soil, emends the wL, we, IL and Ip. Emended wL, wP, IL and IP will be conformed to natural soft soil engineering practice. Meanwhile, on the interaction between clayey particles and different form water in soft soils and different function of different form water for the soft soil deformation mechanism, implication of wL. and wp should be revised, that is, wp represents minimum weak combined water contents and wL represents maximum weak combined water contents with little free water.
A Method to Determine Subgrade Bearing Capacity
Li Shunqun, Wang Yinghong, Liu Shuangju
2009, 23(1): 30-33,47.
Abstract:
No linear qualities of triaxiat tests results and direct shear tests results encourage a proper curve to be constructed to illustrate soils' limit equilibrium state based on Mohr envelope. With the application of elastic theory, equations are derived to calculate plastic range of ground under band-load operation, and then, critical load and plastic zone can be obtained. Several conclusions on the shape and size of plastic zone induced by band-load can be got after the comparison, which is performed between results respectively from the two methods. Even the difference between the shape and the size of the two kinds of plastic zone created by the same load is small and the two critical loads have the similar character, plastic zone increment with increasing upper load is quicker when the proposed method is applied.

Nan Yalin, Liu Haisong
2009, 23(1): 34-38.
Abstract:
Based on the electron microscope scanning and the test of grain-size with high precision, the changes of grainsize composition before and after the treatment of dynamic consolidation are discussed with the subgrade loess of Xi'an-Yumenkou express way,and its effect on loess collapsibility is also analyzed. It could be concluded that dynamic consolidation could destroy the original grain-framework of loess, the surface cementation of conglomeration peeled, grain become thinner and filled in pores which made pores significantly reduced; soil structure become compacted and loess-collapsibility become weaker or even disappear. This study reveals the mechanism of loess-collapsibility treated with dynamic consolidation.
