A new method for testing pile by single-impact energy and P-S curve

By studying the pile-formula and stress-wave methods (e.g., CASE method), the authors propose a new method for testing piles using the single-impact energy and P-S curves. The vibration and wave figures are recorded, and the dynamic and static displacements are measured by different transducers near the top of piles when the pile is impacted by a heavy hammer or micro-rocket. By observing the transformation coefficient of driving energy (total energy), the consumed energy of wave motion and vibration and so on, the vertical bearing capacity for single pile is measured and calculated. Then, using the vibration wave diagram, the dynamic relation curves between the force (P) and the displacement (S) is calculated and the yield points are determined. Using the static-loading test, the dynamic results are checked and the relative constants of dynamic-static P-S curves are determined. Then the subsidence quantity corresponding to the bearing capacity is determined. Moreover, the shaped quality of the pile body can be judged from the formation of P-S curves.

海洋工程中桩基抗拔承载力研究

抗拔承载力是桩基设计的重要组成部分,随着海上风电场的建设,海洋工程中出现了越来越多需要提供足够抗拔力的抗拔桩。现有规范中桩基抗拔承载力的计算来源于对抗压承载力的修正,理论研究成果也仅限于半经验法及极限平衡算法,因此与实测数据存在较大差异。系统阐述现有的桩基抗拔承载力计算方法,并结合实际工程计算桩基的抗拔承载力,对比各种计算方法的结果发现:黏土中API规范法计算的桩基上拔承载力更接近实测值;Meyerhof和Das算法适合计算长径较小的桩;Chattopadhyay和Shanker算法适用于砂土中抗拔桩的计算;现有抗拔承载力计算方法忽略了黏土中的黏附力和负孔隙水压力,导致计算结果与实测值偏差较大。

由于油田井下作业井架为一两腿落地的空间钢架结构,需要用绷绳作支撑,所以用于固定油田井下作业井架绷绳的地锚桩,其抗拔极限承载力的研究与确定对保证井下作业安全至关重要。本文用机械阻抗法对井下作业系统中地锚桩的极限抗拔载荷进行了测试与研究。采用瞬态激励法,用变时基技术分别测试了4种规格尺寸的油管桩和一种规格尺寸的水泥桩在瞬态激励下的速度信号,进行变时基传函分析得出动刚度,确定了极限承载力。结果分析表明,在大庆油田粘性土使用条件下,水泥桩的极限抗拔拉力很大,完全可以满足井下作业需要;不同尺寸油管桩的极限抗拔拉力差异较大,井下作业时应使用2．5m以上长度的油管桩。     

克希霍夫法VSP多波联合成像

VSP 转换波跟VSP 纵波或常规地面转换波相比，具有较高的分辨率和信噪比，但传统的VSP成像方法只利用了反射P波信息，而把转换波（反射S波、透射S波）以及透射P波当作影响成像质量的噪音.本文给出了一种VSP共炮点道集多分量地震资料克希霍夫法偏移成像的方法.本方法充分利用了多波（反射P波、反射S波、透射P波、透射S波）信息，根据转换点处四种波同时起跳，能量叠加最大的原理，从接收点分别用向绕射点延拓它们的能量，并将其叠加起来，求得的和最大的一点即反射点.通过模型试算和实际资料处理表明，此法成像精度高，信噪比高，且有利于改善剖面的频率特性.     

Response of fixed offshore platforms to wave and current loading including soil–structure interaction

Fixed offshore platforms supported by pile foundations are required to resist dynamic lateral loading due to wave forces. The response of a jacket offshore tower is affected by the flexibility and nonlinear behaviour of the supporting piles. For offshore towers supported by clusters of piles, the response to environmental loads is strongly affected by the pile–soil–pile interaction. In the present study, the response of fixed offshore platforms supported by clusters of piles is investigated. The soil resistance to the pile movement is modelled using dynamic p–y curves and t–z curves to account for soil nonlinearity and energy dissipation through radiation damping. The load transfer curves for a single pile have been modified to account for the group effect. The wave forces on the tower members and the tower response are calculated in the time domain using a finite element package (ASAS). Several parameters affecting the dynamic characteristics of the platform and the platform response have been investigated.     

Three-dimensional analysis of rows of piles as passive barriers for ground vibration isolation

This paper presents a theoretical study on the ground vibration isolation efficiency by multi-rows of piles as passive barrier in a three-dimensional context. Integral equations governing Rayleigh wave scattering are derived according to the Green's solution of Lamb problem. The integral equations are solved accurately and efficiently with an iteration technique. They are used to predict the complicated Rayleigh wave field that is generated by a number of irregular scatterers embedded in an elastic half-space solid. The method is verified with a numerical solution available in the literature for a simplified Rayleigh wave scattering problem. Passive isolation effectiveness of ground vibration with two or three rows of small piles is further studied in detail. Effects of relevant parameters on the effectiveness of vibration isolation are analyzed and presented.     

Dynamic nonlinear response of pile foundations under vertical vibration—Theory versus experiment

The influence of nonlinearity on the dynamic response of cast-in-situ reinforced concrete piles subjected to strong vertical excitation was studied. Forced vibration test of single piles (L/d=10, 15, 20) and 2×2 pile groups (s/d=2, 3, 4 for each L/d) were conducted in the field for two different embedded conditions of pile cap. From the measured nonlinear response curves, the effective pile–soil system mass, stiffness and damping were determined and the nonlinear response curves were back-calculated using the theory of nonlinear vibration. The test results were compared with the continuum approach of Novak with dynamic interaction factor approach using both linear and linear-equivalent numerical methods. Reasonable match between the measured and predicted response was found for linear-equivalent methods by introducing a weak boundary-zone around the pile to approximately account for the nonlinear behaviour of pile–soil system. The test data were used to establish the empirical relationship in order to estimate the extent of soil separation around the pile with soil under vertical vibration.

Field testing of stiffened deep cement mixing piles under lateral cyclic loading

Construction of seaside and underground wall bracing often uses stiffened deep cement mixed columns (SDCM). This research investigates methods used to improve the level of bearing capacity of these SDCM when subjected to cyclic lateral loading via various types of stiffer cores. Eight piles, two deep cement mixed piles and six stiffened deep cement mixing piles with three different types of cores, H shape cross section prestressed concrete, steel pipe, and H-beam steel, were embedded though soft clay into medium-hard clay on site in Thailand. Cyclic horizontal loading was gradually applied until pile failure and the hysteresis loops of lateral load vs. lateral deformation were recorded. The lateral carrying capacities of the SDCM piles with an H-beam steel core increased by 3-4 times that of the DCM piles. This field research clearly shows that using H-beam steel as a stiffer core for SDCM piles is the best method to improve its lateral carrying capacity, ductility and energy dissipation capacity.

Research on seismic behavior and shear strength of SRHC frame columns

The seismic behavior of steel reinforced high strength and high performance concrete(SRHC)frame columns was investigated through pseudo-static experiments of 16 frame columns with various shear span ratios,axial compression ratios,concrete strengths,steel ratios and stirrup ratios.Three kinds of failure mechanisms are presented and the characteristics of experimental hysteretic curves and skeleton curves with different design parameters are discussed.The columns’ductility and energy dissipation were quantitatively evaluated based on seismic resistance.The research results indicate that SRHC frame columns can withstand extreme bearing capacity,but the abilities of ductility and energy dissipation are inferior because of SRHC’s natural brittleness.As a result,the axial load ratio should be restricted and some construction measures adopted,such as increasing the stirrup ratio.This research established effect factors on the bearing capacity of SPHC columns.Finally,an algorithm for obtaining ultimate bearing capacity using the flexural failure mode is established based on a modified planesection assumption.The authors also established equations to determine shearing baroclinic failure and shear bond failure based on the accumulation of the axial load force distribution ratio.The calculated results of shear bearing capacity for different failure modes were in good agreement with the experimental results.

Experimental investigation on seismic behavior of single piles in sandy soil

This paper describes a quasi-static test program featuring lateral cyclic loading on single piles in sandy soil. The tests were conducted on 18 aluminum model piles with different cross sections and lateral load eccentricity ratios, e/d, (e is the lateral load eccentricity and d is the diameter of pile) of 0, 4 and 8, embedded in sand with a relative density of 30% and 70%. The experimental results include lateral load-displacement hysteresis loops, skeleton curves and energy dissipation curves. Lateral capacity, ductility and energy dissipation capacity of single piles under seismic load were evaluated in detail. The lateral capacities and the energy dissipation capacity of piles in dense sand were much higher than in loose sand. When embedded in loose sand, the maximum lateral load and the maximum lateral displacement of piles increased as e/d increased. On the contrary, when embedded in dense sand, the maximum lateral load of piles decreased as e/d increased. Piles with a higher load eccentricity ratio experienced higher energy dissipation capacity than piles with e/d of 0 in both dense and loose sand. At a given level of displacement, piles with circular cross sections provided the best energy dissipation capacity in both loose and dense sand.     

单排弹性实心桩对SH波的散射求解问题

采用波函数展开法结合格拉夫加法定理分析单排实心弹性桩的SH波散射问题,通过改变单一变量,分析桩土剪切模量之比、桩体个数等因素对排桩隔振的影响效果,得到如下结论：当无量纲频率为低频和中频时,排桩后无量纲位移曲线在无限远处趋于0,随着桩体根数的增加隔振效果逐渐提高;在排桩后0～70a(a为桩径)范围内无量纲位移之比变化幅度较大,且不稳定,隔振效果较差;当桩土剪切模量之比小于500时,在250a～380a范围内减隔振效果较好;当桩土剪切模量之比大于或等于500时,隔振效果并不会随着其增加而大幅增加,即此时可将桩体认为是刚性桩体。当无量纲频率为中频时,在100a～120a范围内隔振效果较好,之后此范围内无量纲位移之比先骤升后逐渐下降,但当无量纲频率上升为高频时,各桩体根数下排桩隔振效果相差不大,且会在距离排桩更近处就已经达到很好的隔振效果。     

Test of frequency characteristic for well and its response to seismic waves

The permeation parameters have been calculated by forefathers on the basis of permeation theory by means of the Slug test (Yin, Zheng, 1992) and the restoration curves of well level. We are interested in oscillation of the well level when we make Slug test. Both the permeation parameters and frequency parameters, i.e., natural period and damping coefficients of well aquifer, have been calculated on the basis of vibration theory by means of the oscillation curves. Not only this has given a new method, but also the different response of well level to seismic waves has been explained by it in theory.
