Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of foundation treatment and CO2 sequestration (carbon fixation) technology, and particularly relates to a method for optimizing the pile-soil stress ratio of solidified soil-flexible pile composite foundation considering infiltration. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional pile-composite foundations use crushed stone or sand as a cushion layer, primarily to coordinate the deformation of the piles and soil. In recent years, research on solidified soil as a cushion layer has gained traction; it, together with the piles, forms an integral composite foundation, significantly improving bearing capacity. However, existing technologies have the following drawbacks: The pile side skin friction model is simplistic: Existing studies mostly use a uniform elastoplastic model, which does not fully consider the piecewise distribution of skin friction under the characteristics of long piles and ignores the infiltration and erosion effect, resulting in large deviations in the stress calculation of long piles. The role of the solidified soil layer is not fully reflected: Although existing methods involve solidified soil, they do not systematically analyze its specific impact on pile-soil deformation coordination and stress distribution. The equivalent stiffness of the solidified soil is not included in the load transfer and coordination equations, and the calculation results do not completely match actual engineering. Insufficient accuracy: Some models do not fully consider the vertical penetration effect of the pile, affecting the accuracy of the pile-soil stress ratio. Summary of the Invention

S4. Solve the neutral surface depth iteratively. The iterative process includes setting an initial value for the neutral surface depth, updating the neutral surface depth based on the deformation compatibility equation, and checking the convergence conditions until the settlement compatibility and constraint conditions are met. S5. Based on the neutral surface depth and the two-segment pile side friction distribution function, the load transfer method is used to solve the vertical stress distribution of the pile and the soil between the piles, and the pile-soil stress ratio is calculated. S6. With the goal of reducing or constraining the pile-soil stress ratio, adjust one or more of the design parameters and output the optimized parameters and pile-soil stress ratio.

[0007] Optionally, the process of establishing a two-segment pile side friction distribution function includes: using the neutral plane as the boundary, applying a negative friction coefficient above the neutral plane and combining it with the infiltration influence factor to correct the friction resistance, and applying a positive friction coefficient below the neutral plane and combining it with the infiltration influence factor to correct the friction resistance, thus forming a segmented continuous friction distribution function.

[0008] Optionally, the process of iteratively solving for the neutral surface depth includes: setting an initial value for the neutral surface depth within the pile length range; calculating the neutral surface function value based on the deformation compatibility equation, wherein the deformation compatibility equation is coupled with the equivalent compression of the solidified soil cushion layer; and iteratively updating the neutral surface depth until the settlement compatibility and constraint conditions are met.

[0009] Optionally, the process of solving the vertical stress distribution of the pile and the soil between the piles using the load transfer method includes: establishing the infinitesimal equilibrium equations of the pile and the soil between the piles; substituting the two-segment pile side friction distribution function into the infinitesimal equilibrium equations and performing piecewise integration with the neutral surface as the boundary; and using the closed system of equations under the overall equilibrium condition to obtain the vertical stress at the top of the pile and the top of the soil between the piles.

[0012] Technical advantages of this invention: This invention discloses a method for optimizing the pile-soil stress ratio in a solidified soil-flexible pile composite foundation, considering infiltration. By establishing a two-stage pile side friction model that considers infiltration and coupling it with the deformation coordination relationship of the solidified soil cushion layer, it can more accurately reflect the actual stress characteristics of the pile foundation under seepage conditions, significantly improving the calculation accuracy of the pile-soil stress ratio and making the calculation results more consistent with engineering measurements. This method can effectively reduce the pile-soil stress ratio while ensuring the bearing capacity of the foundation, fully utilizing the bearing capacity of the soil between piles, thereby reducing the material consumption of the piles and improving the economic efficiency of the project. At the same time, the model provided by this invention has strong applicability, solving the problem of large calculation deviations in traditional methods under complex hydrogeological conditions, and is suitable for rapid design and verification in engineering projects.
