Abstract:Coming into the new century, the economy of the southeast coastal areas in China is developing rapidly. The regional characteristics are the soft soil geology with many rivers. The bridge construction is unavoidable, and the bridge safety cannot be separated from the support of cast-in-situ bored piles. Taking the bearing capacity detection of cast-in-situ bored pile of a bridge in soft soil area as an example, the detection schemes of self-balanced method are compared on the basis of meeting the project requirements, and provide the support for the project construction, which can provide some valuable reference for the design of bearing capacity detection scheme of large-diameter and large-tonnage cast-in-situ bored piles of similar projects.
