Disclosed in the present invention are high-rise
pile cap equipment under a horizontal load and a
centrifuge test method for foundation bearing characteristics thereof. The equipment comprises a model box, a sand layer, a model
pile cap, at least eight model piles, a horizontal loading device, at least two
laser displacement sensors, an
axial force sensor, and a plurality of strain gauges. The method comprises: S1, performing one-way horizontal loading on high-rise
pile cap equipment under a horizontal load to obtain an ultimate foundation
bearing capacity situation, a model pile body
axial force distribution situation, a pile foundation
axial force comparison situation, a model pile body
bending moment distribution situation, and a model pile body
bending moment comparison situation of the equipment; and S2, performing one-way variable amplitude
cyclic loading on the high-rise
pile cap equipment under the horizontal load to obtain a foundation displacement situation, an effect of the number of cycles on foundation stiffness, an effect of a cyclic load amplitude on the foundation stiffness, and a foundation inclination situation. In this way, the foundation design of the high-rise
pile cap can be optimized, and a basis and a reference for evaluating safety of foundation long-term service are provided.
