[0002] Pull-out piles are a type of pile foundation primarily designed to withstand uplift loads. They are widely used in applications such as anti-floating large basements, anti-uplift structures, anti-uplift offshore dock platforms, and anchor foundations for bridges. When used as foundations for tall structures such as transmission towers and offshore wind turbines, pull-out piles must withstand not only axial tensile loads, but also horizontal loads such as wind and waves transmitted from the superstructure, as well as the resulting bending moments. Existing engineering and research studies mostly consider only the bearing-deformation characteristics of piles under the influence of uplift loads, with limited research on the effects of horizontal loads and bending moments on the bearing capacity of pull-out piles. This can result in pile foundation designs in actual engineering applications failing to accurately reflect their performance in real-world environments, thus impacting the safety and reliability of the entire structure.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 7The figure shows a loading test device for simulating the effects of complex combined loads on pull-out piles. The device comprises a frame with a test trough 21 in the middle. The test trough 21 contains test soil 2, in which a pull-out pile 1 is inserted. The upper portion of the pull-out pile 1 extends above the surface of the test soil. The upper end of the pull-out pile is provided with a pile cap 3. The top of the pile cap 3 is connected to the traction end of a first steel wire rope 7 for applying a vertical load. The left side of the pile cap is connected to the traction end of a second steel wire rope 9 for applying a horizontal load. The right side of the upper portion of the pull-out pile is connected to the traction end of a third steel wire rope 10 for applying an oblique load. The loading ends of the first, second, and third steel wire ropes 7, 9, and 10 are all connected to a loading trough 22 for placing weights 23. The loading test device is simple in structure, efficient, and practical. It can simultaneously apply horizontal, vertical, oblique pull, and bending loads. By placing weights in the loading troughs, a combined load of horizontal, vertical, oblique pull, and bending loads can be applied.

[0026] In this embodiment, the frame is composed of a crossbeam 8 and columns 11 on both sides; an adjusting steel plate 24 is connected to the crossbeam 8 by bolts, and the bolts are preferably high-strength bolts. The adjusting steel plate 24 is provided with an adjustable pulley 15. Several groups of connecting holes A30 are spaced apart on the crossbeam 8 to fix the adjusting steel plate 24 at different horizontal positions. The left and right adjustment of the adjustable pulley 15 can be achieved by changing the installation position of the adjusting steel plate 24. A fixed pulley A16 is provided at the right end of the crossbeam 8; a triangular frame A12 is connected to the outward side of the upper part of the right column, and a fixed pulley B17 is provided on the triangular frame A12. The first steel wire rope 7 passes around the adjustable pulley 15, the fixed pulley A16 and the fixed pulley B17 in sequence. The crossbeam 8 is composed of two parallel beams with a gap between the two beams so that the first steel wire rope can pass through upward. The first steel wire rope 7 applies a vertical tensile load by placing weights on the corresponding loading slots.

[0027] In this embodiment, the lower outward portion of the left column 11 is connected to a triangular frame B13, which is equipped with a fixed pulley C18. A fixed pulley E25 is located to the left of the notch of the test slot 21. The second steel wire rope 9 passes through fixed pulleys C18 and E25 in sequence. By placing weights in the corresponding loading slots, the second steel wire rope 9 applies a horizontal load, allowing for the study and testing of the load-bearing and deformation characteristics of the pull-out pile under combined vertical and horizontal loads.

[0028] In this embodiment, the lower outward portion of the right column 11 is connected to a triangular frame C14, which is equipped with a fixed pulley D19. A fixed pulley F26 is located on the right side of the notch of the test slot 21. The third steel wire rope 10 is sequentially routed around fixed pulleys D19 and F26. Weights are placed in the corresponding loading slots to apply an oblique load to the third steel wire rope 10. The second and third steel wire ropes 9 and 10 apply opposite loads on either side of the pullout pile, forming a couple that applies a bending moment load to the pile. Simultaneously, a vertical pullout load is applied to study the load-bearing performance under the combined effects of a vertical pullout load and a bending moment load. Alternatively, a horizontal load is applied to study the load-bearing performance under the combined effects of a horizontal load and a bending moment load.

[0029] By adjusting the position of the adjustable pulley to meet the inclined loading angle required for the test, the inclined load of the pull-out pile can be loaded; the bending moment load is applied to study the bearing performance under the combined action of the inclined load and the bending moment load.

[0030] In this embodiment, the triangular frame A12, triangular frame B13 and triangular frame C14 are all connected to the column by bolts. The column is provided with a row of connection holes B31 that can fix the triangular frame at different heights. The triangular frame A12, triangular frame B13 and triangular frame C14 are all right triangles, one of which is located on the upper side, and the corresponding fixed pulley is installed at the end facing outward. The other right-angled side is provided with a plurality of bolt holes and is connected to the column by bolts. The fixed pulley on the triangular frame can be adjusted up and down by changing the installation position of the triangular frame.

[0031] In this embodiment, a cap 4 is fixedly attached to the right side of the test trough 21. Two dial indicators 6, used to measure the horizontal and vertical displacements of the pullout pile top, are connected to the cap 4 via a measuring instrument support 5. One dial indicator is fixed horizontally, while the other is fixed vertically. The horizontally fixed dial indicator measures the horizontal displacement of the pile top, while the vertically fixed dial indicator measures the vertical displacement of the pile top. The test trough is constructed from welded steel plates.

[0032] In this embodiment, a plurality of vertically spaced strain gauges 29 are affixed to the lower side of the pullout pile 1. These strain gauges 29 are connected to a strain collector 28 via wires, which in turn are connected to a computer 27 via wires. Strain gauges are affixed to the lower portion of the pile (i.e., the section inserted into the test soil) and are connected to the strain collector via wires. The strain collector uploads collected pile strain data to the computer 27 via wires for monitoring the internal forces and deformation of the pullout pile under combined loads.

[0033] Specific loading process of the loading test device:

[0034] By adding weights in the two test grooves 22 connected to the first steel wire rope and the second steel wire rope respectively, vertical tension and horizontal combined loads are applied to the pull-out pile 1; by adding weights in the two test grooves 22 connected to the second steel wire rope and the third steel wire rope respectively, horizontal load and bending moment load are applied to the pull-out pile 1; by adding weights in the three test grooves 22 connected to the first steel wire rope, the second steel wire rope and the third steel wire rope respectively, vertical tension load and bending moment load are applied to the pull-out pile 1; by adjusting the position of the adjustable pulley, the angle of the traction end of the first steel wire rope is changed, and then weights are added in the three test grooves 22 connected to the first steel wire rope, the second steel wire rope and the third steel wire rope respectively, to apply inclined load and bending moment load to the pile.

[0035] This loading test device can simulate the complex combined loads that pull-out piles are subjected to under actual engineering conditions. This device can simultaneously apply loads in multiple directions, namely vertical tensile loads, horizontal loads and bending moment loads, thereby comprehensively evaluating the bearing capacity of pull-out piles under various working conditions.
