In the construction of marine engineering, pile foundations need to be set. There is no existing specification that can be directly used for the calculation method of the side friction of a bored pile in reef geological conditions. In the traditional design, the coral reef is regarded as ordinary sandstone or siliceous sand, and the existing design specification of the sand soil pile foundation is directly used for calculation.
[0003] The side friction of a bored pile mainly includes the interface friction between the rock-soil and the concrete and the additional friction caused by the cement slurry penetration and cementation.

[0033] First, the slurry-containing core sample is made on site: a test hole is processed on the side of the pile site, the drilling depth is the depth of the pile end, the hole diameter is φ110mm, the cement slurry containing fluorescent tracer (only the CT-seepage coupling inversion method does not need to use fluorescent tracer) is injected, the fluorescent tracer is fluorescein sodium or rhodamine B, the concentration is 3%~5%, the water-cement ratio of the cement slurry is 0.5, the grouting pressure is generally 0.2MPa~0.4MPa, the grouting amount reaches 1 / 20 of the designed slurry amount per pile, after the cement slurry is penetrated and solidified, generally for 24h, the slurry-containing core sample is drilled by coring drilling, the sample specification is φ75mm, the thickness of the fluorescent ring is measured under the ultraviolet lamp irradiation environment, the core is taken from the concrete area of the test hole outward in turn until the edge area of the penetration zone is obtained, and the tracer effective radius r of the penetration zone is obtained by fluorescent measurement and statistics c1 .
[0034] Simultaneously, CT scans were performed on the aforementioned magmatic core samples with a resolution ≤18μm to generate three-dimensional scan images. Avizo software was used to perform three-dimensional threshold segmentation on the three-dimensional scan images to separate the infiltration zones.
