Abstract:In order to discuss the dynamic characteristics and distribution law of the composite foundation of track substructure in the metro train depot under metro train load effect after the soft soil foundation is reinforced by the piles, the finite element explicit dynamics method is used to analyze and compare the effects of pile reinforcement and pile modulus on the soil dynamic characteristics in the lower soft foundation area of track in a metro train depot of Guangzhou. The results of numerical analysis show that (1) after reinforced by piles, the vibration acceleration of the soil will decay faster than that of no-pile reinforced. And the dynamic stress amplitude of the soil also decreases. The dynamic stress of the soil decreases with the increase of the pile modulus. (2) During the changing process with the lateral distance and depth, the soil dynamic stress in some area tends to increase first and then decrease, which illustrates that the stress concentration occurs near the top and bottom of the pile. (3) The dynamic stress amplitude and vibration acceleration amplitude of soft clay first decay rapidly along the depth direction, and then the attenuation tends to be stable, which indicates that the shallow area of soft soil is mainly considered when calculating the dynamic additional settlement.
