Traditional pile foundations are widely used throughout the country, but their high cost, high labor intensity, slow construction speed, poor bearing capacity and other shortcomings make them less cost-effective. In the western region, there are a large number of gravel soil areas, which have high terrain and strong wind, and the wind erosion is serious, so the bearing capacity of the foundation is required to be high. For gravel soil with large soil cracks, pressure grouting is an effective measure to improve the bearing capacity. At present, a large number of spiral anchor studies are focused on clay, soft soil and sand, which is obviously limited in China with complex terrain, and pressure grouting of gravel soil outside the spiral anchor is even rarer.

[0019] It should be noted that establishing a three-dimensional finite element model of the grouting screw anchor and its surrounding gravel soil is crucial, as it provides a scientific basis for evaluating the bearing capacity of the anchoring system. By specifying the structural parameters of the grouting screw anchor and the grouting material parameters, the performance of the anchoring system under different working conditions can be accurately reflected. By using the soil layer size in the gravel soil parameters, including the soil layer thickness, soil layer width, and soil layer length, the ABAQUS finite element analysis software is used to create a geometric model and define its material properties, which can effectively simulate the stress distribution during the anchoring process and the interaction between the soil and the anchoring body. This modeling method not only improves the accuracy of the analysis, but also helps to identify potential stress concentration areas and failure modes, thereby providing important guidance for engineering design optimization, safety evaluation, and construction schemes, reducing engineering risks, and improving economic benefits.

[0020] Therefore, it is necessary to establish a three-dimensional finite element model of the grouting screw anchor and its surrounding gravel soil, and the method is as follows: Determine the structural parameters of the grouting screw anchor and the grouting material parameters, the structural parameters include the total length of the grouting screw anchor, the length of the spiral blade, the diameter of the grouting anchor rod, the diameter of the spiral blade, the grouting material parameters include the compressive strength, elastic modulus, and Poisson's ratio of the grouting material, the gravel soil parameters include the soil layer size, soil density, friction angle, elastic modulus, and Poisson's ratio of the gravel soil; The three-dimensional finite element model is established based on the ABAQUS finite element analysis software, a three-dimensional finite element model of the grouting spiral anchor is created in the software according to the obtained structural parameters of the grouting spiral anchor, the length, diameter and blade characteristics of the grouting spiral anchor are defined, the grouting spiral anchor is formed through stretching, rotating and shearing operations, and according to the obtained gravel soil parameters, a surrounding body is established around the grouting spiral anchor, so that the size of the soil layer covers the surrounding area of the grouting spiral anchor to form a three-dimensional finite element model of the gravel soil, and the connection relationship between the grouting spiral anchor and the surrounding gravel soil is defined by using the bonding in the ABAQUS finite element analysis software.

[0021] It should be noted that meshing the three-dimensional finite element model and identifying the stress concentration area are key steps for evaluating the performance of the grouting spiral anchor. By reasonably selecting the size of the tetrahedral mesh element and refining the area with larger curvature, the accuracy of the model calculation can be improved, ensuring that the stress distribution of the anchoring system is truly reflected. The equivalent stress of each mesh element is calculated using the stress tensor method, which helps to identify weak parts of the bearing capacity and timely detect potential safety hazards. Setting the stress concentration threshold can effectively evaluate the stress area beyond the safe range, guide the subsequent design optimization and construction scheme, and thus improve the overall stability and reliability of the grouting spiral anchor, ensuring project safety and economic benefits.

[0022] Therefore, the established three-dimensional finite element model needs to be meshed, and the stress concentration area of the grouting spiral anchor needs to be determined, and the method is as follows: The three-dimensional finite element model is meshed by selecting a tetrahedral mesh element with a size of 10cm*10cm*10cm, the curvature threshold of the grouting spiral anchor is set, the curvature of each part of the grouting spiral anchor is calculated based on the ABAQUS finite element analysis software, the parts exceeding the preset curvature threshold are proportionally refined, the size of the refined mesh element is set to 1 / 2 of the original tetrahedral mesh, and the equivalent stress of each tetrahedral mesh element after division is calculated according to the stress tensor method. The formula is: ; ; Among them, represents the stress tensor of the divided mesh element, represents the equivalent stress of the tetrahedral mesh element, , , respectively represent the normal stress in , , three directions, is the stress acting on the face along the direction, is the stress acting on the face along the stress in the direction, is the stress acting on the surface in the direction, due to the symmetry of the stress tensor, , , , is the stress acting on the surface in the direction, is the stress acting on the surface in the direction, is the stress acting on the surface in the direction, is the stress acting on the surface in the direction, is the stress acting on It should be noted that the curvature value of each point on the surface of the established grouting spiral anchor three-dimensional finite element model is calculated by the derivative of the surface normal, the curvature distribution data obtained by analysis is used to identify the area with large curvature change, and the 95% quantile of the overall curvature distribution is selected to ensure that the mesh refinement is carried out in these high curvature areas to more accurately capture the stress concentration phenomenon. Through this method, the appropriate curvature threshold can be effectively determined, and the results of finite element analysis are more reliable.

[0023] The stress at the center of the bottom of the grouting spiral anchor is taken as the reference stress, and the stress concentration threshold is set The ratio of the equivalent stress of each tetrahedral mesh element to the reference stress is defined as the stress concentration coefficient The tetrahedral mesh element of is defined as the stress concentration mesh element, and based on the connectivity rules of adjacent elements, the adjacent stress concentration mesh elements are connected together to form the stress concentration area of the grouting spiral anchor. It should be noted that the stress at the reference point is taken as the reference stress, and combined with the yield strength and safety factor of the material, a suitable proportion coefficient is set through the recommended value in the grouting spiral anchor design specification, for example, 1.5 to 2.0 times the reference stress, to define the stress concentration threshold, to ensure that there is enough safety margin for potential high stress areas in actual engineering to adapt to the bearing capacity of the material and construction risk.

[0024] It should be noted that calculating the principal stress of the stress concentration area in the three-dimensional state as the critical bearing stress is of great significance, as it provides a key basis for evaluating the bearing capacity and safety of the grouting spiral anchor. By performing eigenvalue calculation on the stress tensor of the stress concentration grid element, the maximum, average and minimum values of the principal stress can be obtained, thereby comprehensively reflecting the stress state in the region. This analysis not only helps to identify possible failure modes, but also provides a scientific basis for design optimization, ensuring the stability and reliability of the anchoring system in practical applications, thereby effectively reducing engineering risks and improving safety standards.

[0025] Therefore, the principal stress of the stress concentration area in the three-dimensional state as the critical bearing stress needs to be calculated, and the method is as follows: For each stress concentration grid element in the stress concentration area, the stress tensor is subjected to eigenvalue calculation, the stress tensor of each grid element is multiplied by the eigenvalue unit matrix, and then substituted into the corresponding stress tensor to obtain the first stress matrix of each stress concentration grid element By expanding the determinant of the first stress matrix and setting its determinant value to zero, a cubic polynomial equation about the eigenvalue is obtained, and by solving this cubic polynomial equation, three eigenvalues of the stress tensor of the stress concentration grid element are obtained 、 、 The three eigenvalues 、 、 respectively correspond to the maximum, intermediate and minimum principal stresses of the grid element in the three-dimensional state, and the calculation formula of the principal stress of each stress concentration grid element in the stress concentration area in the three-dimensional state is as follows: ; Wherein, represents the principal stress value of the th stress concentration grid element in the stress concentration area, 、 、 respectively represent the maximum, intermediate and minimum principal stresses of the th stress concentration grid element in the three-dimensional state, is the index of the stress concentration grid element in the stress concentration area, and , is the total number of stress concentration grid elements in the stress concentration area; The principal stress values of all stress concentration grid elements in the stress concentration area are superimposed to obtain the critical bearing stress of the stress concentration area.

[0026] It is noted that the cubic polynomial equation for eigenvalue is derived from the stress tensor of the grid element The formula for calculating the eigenvalue of the stress tensor of a grid element is as follows: ; wherein is the eigenvalue of the stress tensor of the grid element, is the unit matrix, is the determinant, which is used to represent the solution of the eigenvalue equation, and then the eigenvalue equation is expanded to obtain the first matrix of the stress tensor of the grid element , and the determinant is set to zero to obtain a cubic polynomial for the eigenvalue of the stress tensor of the grid element, wherein , is the trace of the stress tensor, is the second-order deviation of the stress tensor, is the determinant of the stress tensor, and by solving the cubic polynomial equation, three eigenvalues , are obtained; It is noted that we use the maximum value of the principal stress , the intermediate value of the principal stress and the minimum value of the principal stress in the three-dimensional state to replace the principal stress value of the stress concentration grid element, and by using the average value of the principal stress to estimate the principal stress value of the stress concentration grid element, the calculation process can be simplified, and the use of the average value can help identify potential weaknesses and failure modes.

[0027] The principal stress values of all stress concentration grid elements in the stress concentration area are superimposed to obtain the critical bearing stress of the stress concentration area.

[0028] It is noted that determining the uplift stress influence area is crucial for evaluating the performance of the grouting screw anchor, as it helps to understand the degree of influence of the applied pullout force on the surrounding soil. By systematically conducting uplift tests, gradually loading and recording the displacement and maximum pullout force of the grouting screw anchor, the critical bearing capacity and its influence range can be accurately identified. This analysis provides data support for design and construction, ensuring that the anchoring system has sufficient safety margin in practical application, and laying a foundation for subsequent optimization design, thereby improving the overall safety and reliability of the project.

[0029] Therefore, the method for determining the uplift stress influence area is as follows: Grouting pull-out tests were conducted on the grouting spiral anchors. The grouting spiral anchors were installed at the predetermined positions according to the designed depth and angle, and their fixation was ensured. Grouting material was injected around the grouting spiral anchors to ensure that the grouting material fully filled the pores around the grouting spiral anchors and enhanced the anchoring effect. After grouting was completed, the initial pull-out force was applied after the grouting material reached the specified strength. A graded loading method was adopted to gradually increase the applied pull-out force. The critical bearing stress was set as the total pull-out force, and the pull-out force increment for each grade was set to 20% of the critical bearing stress. If the grouting spiral anchors began to produce significant displacement or strain at each loading stage, it was assessed whether the pull-out force at this time exceeded the critical bearing capacity. The maximum pull-out force and the corresponding displacement of the grouting spiral anchors were recorded until the grouting spiral anchors were pulled out. The relationship between pull-out force and grouting helical anchor displacement is established, and the distance from the point where the pull-out force is applied to the farthest measurement point on the horizontal plane is calculated using the following formula: ; in, The measurement point is at The vertical stress at the point represents the effect of the applied pull-out load on the load. The degree of influence on the soil. It is the pull-out force applied to the grouting spiral anchor. It is the displacement of the grouting spiral anchor. It represents the distance on the horizontal plane from the point where the pull-out force is applied to the farthest measurement point; Maximum pull-out stress Substituting the corresponding displacement of the grouting helical anchor into the formula, calculate the distance on the horizontal plane from the point of maximum pull-out stress application to the farthest measurement point when the grouting helical anchor is pulled out. Using this distance as the radius and the central axis of the grouting helical anchor as the center, calculate the anchoring depth according to the preset formula. Define a cylindrical region and define this cylindrical region as the region affected by pull-out stress.

[0030] It should be noted that, In reality, it is the change in depth at the measurement point after the pull-out force is applied. This change in depth at a fixed point is used to characterize the displacement of the grouting helical anchor. The height of the constructed cylinder At any measurement point, in the above formula, based on the stress transfer theory in soil mechanics, considering the stress propagation of the pull-out force in the soil, this formula expresses the depth. Due to the pull-out force The resulting stress attenuation characteristics are obtained by acquiring stress at a known depth. The vertical stress will result in the maximum pull-out stress. Substitute into The radius of the stress influence zone under the maximum pullout force can be calculated by determining the maximum stress influence zone radius and combining the predetermined anchoring depth , which forms a physical model of the stress influence zone as a cylinder.

[0031] It is important to note that soil stress analysis of the pullout stress influence zone is crucial for calculating soil cohesion and soil friction. This process helps to comprehensively evaluate the actual bearing capacity and stability of grouting spiral anchors in soil layers. By analyzing the cohesion and friction of each micro-element using the micro-element method, we can gain detailed understanding of the stress distribution in the soil at different depths and locations, providing scientific basis for optimizing design and construction plans. Soil cohesion and friction together determine the pullout resistance of the anchoring system, ensuring the safety and reliability of the anchoring structure under applied loads. Therefore, soil stress analysis not only improves the rationality of engineering design, but also reduces potential safety risks and ensures long-term stability of the project.

[0032] Therefore, soil stress analysis of the pullout stress influence zone is necessary to calculate the soil cohesion and soil friction in the pullout stress influence zone. The method used is: Based on the physical properties of the pullout stress influence zone as a cylinder, including the cylinder radius and depth , the cylinder region is divided into micro-elements with height increments of and side areas of . The cohesion of each micro-element is . The soil cohesion of the pullout stress influence zone is obtained by integrating the cohesion of the entire cylinder region, using the formula: ; where represents the soil cohesion of the pullout stress influence zone, represents the cohesion strength per unit micro-element area, represents the height increment of the micro-element. Soil friction is generated by the vertical stress of the micro-element and the friction angle, and its expression is The friction of each micro-element is represented as . The soil friction of the pullout stress influence zone is obtained by integrating the friction of the entire cylinder region, using the formula: ; where represents the soil friction of the pullout stress influence zone, is the vertical stress acting on the infinitesimal element, which is caused by the self-weight and the applied load of the grouting screw anchor, is the friction angle of the gravel soil.

[0033] It is important to note that the importance of generating the pullout ultimate bearing capacity of grouting screw anchors lies in providing a systematic theoretical basis for engineering practice to ensure the safety and reliability of anchoring structures. In this process, by defining the grouting coefficient and rock fracture coefficient, the interaction between the grouting material and the soil can be accurately reflected, and the soil cohesion and friction can be effectively modified, thus more realistically reflecting the actual bearing capacity, effective bonding area and effective length of the anchor rod under actual conditions. The consideration of the calculation results makes more practical sense, which can reflect the actual bearing capacity of grouting screw anchors under different working conditions.
