Abstract:Combined with the heaped load project of landscape terrain around an expressway bridge in Hangzhou, the numerical finite element method is used to study the deformation of piers caused by the large-area heaped load. Considering the effective stress and excess pore water pressure, the factors related to the height of heaped load, the slope rate of heaped load, and the distance between the heaped load and the existing pier are analyzed. The appropriate height and distance of the heaped load are determined according to the control standard of the pile foundation displacement in the design code, which can provide the relevant experience for the similar projects.
