Abstract

Based on engineering examples, field pile test of three interlocking piles is carried out near the prototype site of secant piled bucket foundation to explore the actual collaborative bearing capacity of the secant pile under horizontal load. Meanwhile, the bearing capacity of the foundation of the secant piled bucket skirt under the condition of weakening and failure of the secant face are studied by using finite element method. The results show that in the field pile test, under the action of failure load, the secant pile still maintains good integrity, which can move together as a whole, and has at least 4.2 times the safety factor. The weakening of the secant face strength has little effect on the bearing capacity and deformation of the foundation under the premise of ensuring the continuous integrity of the bucket skirt. The failure of secant face of the bucket skirt makes it difficult to carry the load synergistically, ultimately leading to a significant decrease in the foundation bearing capacity.

Key words
