Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of methods and devices for predicting the thermal-mechanical coupling response of energy piles, and particularly to a method and device for predicting the thermal-mechanical coupling response of energy piles. Background Technology

[0002] With the accelerated global energy structure shift towards low-carbon and green directions, ground source heat pump systems have been widely used as a highly efficient way to utilize renewable energy. Energy piles, as a new engineering technology combining ground source heat pump heat exchange pipes with building pile foundation structures, possess the dual functions of bearing building loads and transferring geothermal energy, and have shown broad application prospects in urban infrastructure construction. The working principle of energy piles is to connect the underground heat source to the building structure through the pile body, facilitating the exchange of geothermal energy. However, during the long-term service of energy piles, due to seasonal temperature changes and variations in system operating conditions, the pile body undergoes alternating cycles of heating and cooling, i.e., it is subjected to thermal cycling loads. This thermo-mechanical coupling effect causes the pile body to exhibit thermal expansion and contraction, leading to a redistribution of axial force, displacement, and stress at the pile-soil interface. Long-term repeated thermal cycling may not only cause cumulative deformation and settlement of the pile body but also weaken the bearing capacity of the pile foundation, thus affecting the long-term safety and service life of the structure. Therefore, accurately analyzing the thermodynamic response characteristics of energy piles under thermal cycling loads is particularly important and has significant theoretical and engineering application value. Currently, existing technologies for analyzing the thermal cycle response of energy piles still suffer from problems such as complex modeling, low computational efficiency, insufficient characterization of interface behavior, and limited prediction accuracy.

[0039] The specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] During the analysis, the load on the energy pile is decomposed into mechanical load F and thermal cycle load T, and applied to the pile body in sequence.

[0041] During the structural load application stage: when a mechanical load F is applied to the top of the pile, the pile body generates upward surface frictional resistance along the depth direction, and the pile end generates upward end resistance;

[0042] Cooling stage: As the temperature decreases, the pile body cools and contracts, resulting in an increase in surface friction at the pile-soil interface at the top of the pile; while the surface friction at the bottom of the pile decreases, and may even reverse direction (from upward to downward); the end resistance of the pile decreases as the pile body contracts; during this process, a neutral point (NP) is formed along the depth of the pile body, at which the pile-soil interface is neither loaded nor unloaded.

[0043] Heating stage: As the temperature rises, the pile expands thermally, the frictional resistance at the upper pile-soil interface decreases or even reverses; the frictional resistance at the lower pile-soil interface increases; the pile end resistance also increases; during the thermal cycle, the position of the neutral point (NP) dynamically shifts with temperature changes.

[0044] Complete thermal cycle effect: After a complete heating-cooling cycle, the loading and unloading states at different depths of the pile-soil interface exhibit asynchronous evolution characteristics; this characteristic leads to dynamic changes in the mechanical response mode of the pile along the depth direction, demonstrating a typical thermo-mechanical coupling effect.

[0045] The method for predicting the thermo-mechanical coupled response of energy piles includes:

Figure 2 As shown, the soil around and at the pile tip is idealized as a series of nonlinear soil spring models, simplifying the thermo-mechanical coupling response analysis of the energy pile under actual service conditions. The mechanical performance parameters of each soil spring are assigned based on the subsequently established pile side load transfer model and pile tip load transfer model, thereby effectively characterizing the interaction behavior of the pile-soil interface under thermo-mechanical coupling loads. Figure 2 In the model, nonlinear soil spring elements are arranged along the pile perimeter and pile end directions, with the axial structure of the energy pile as the center. The stress and deformation state of the soil springs at each position during the application of thermal-mechanical loads are intuitively displayed by arrows and mechanical parameter annotations.
