Abstract:In response to the difficulty of predicting the long-term settlement displacement of pile foundations in layered anisotropic rheological strata, a theoretical prediction method for the bearing mode discrimination of pile foundations in this type of strata and the long-term settlement displacement of pile foundation throughout its service process is established, which is based on the load transfer mode, Poyting-Thomson model and one-dimensional virtual structure equivalent model of soil. The evolution of bearing mode and the settlement displacement time response characteristics of pile foundation in stable creep strata are studied. The results indicate that the settlement of pile foundation under the frictional bearing state presents the transient elasticity. The layered anisotropy of the soil leads to a significant step mutation in the compression deformation of the pile body. When the friction and the pile end are jointly supported, the overall displacement of the pile foundation is equal to the superposition of deformation displacement of pile body and the settlement displacement of pile end, which has the significant time effect characteristics and gradually stabilizes over time.
