The model tests of short pile with very small pile length/diameter(L/D) were performed in this paper. Varying the pile diameter, length, and the lateral loading point, the lateral resistance and behavior of very short pile were studied in this model tests. The experimental and analytical results are as follows. The lateral ultimate resistance of short pile in sands was the maximum at the point of h/L=0.75, regardless of pile length/diameter(L/D). As the pile diameter is larger, the lateral ultimate resistance of pile with L/D=1 decreases a little and the lateral resistance increases according to the ratio of pile length/diameter. As the lateral loads are acting on the pile, the displacement of pile head is maximum at the pile top of h/L=0, but minimum at the middle point of the pile. And if the loading point is under the middle of pile, the displacement of pile head occurs oposite in the loading direction, but its magnitude is very small.

Laboratory tests are conducted to investigate the performance of retaining system with different combinations of long-short piles. Numerical analysis implemented using ABAQUS are verified by comparing numerical results with measured data. By performing numerical studies, the horizontal displacement of piles, heave of excavation bottom and bending moment of pile for various pile system with different pile lengths are investigated. Results show that long piles share higher bending moments than short piles. The increase in the number of short piles leads to a slight increase in the heave at excavation bottom for long-short pile retaining system. Retaining system with different long and short pile combinations have greater effects on the horizontal displacement of pile above the excavation bottom, compared to its counterparts below excavation bottom. For a given length of long pile, the bending moment and displacement of piles increase with the decrease in length of short piles, while the increasing rate of maximum moment of retaining pile system is insignificant. Results highlight that a reliable and economical pile retaining system can be designed by optimizing the number and length of short piles, provided that the working performance of retaining structures above excavation bottom meets the design requirement in practice.

Long-short pile composite foundations bear both vertical and horizontal loads in many engineering applications. This study used indoor model tests to determine the horizontal bearing mechanism of a composite foundation with long and short piles under horizontal loads. A custom experimental device was developed to prevent excessive eccentricity of the vertical loading device caused by the horizontal displacement. ABAQUS software was used to analyze the influence of the load size and cushion thickness on the horizontal bearing mechanism. The results reveal that a large vertical load leads to soil densification and increases the horizontal bearing capacity of the composite foundation. The magnitude of the horizontal displacement of the pile and the horizontal load borne by the pile are related to the piles' positions. Due to different pile lengths, the long piles exhibit long pile effects and experience bending deformation, whereas the short piles rotate around a point (0.2 L from the pile bottom) as the horizontal load increases. Selecting a larger cushion thickness significantly improves the horizontal load sharing capacity of the soil and reduces the horizontal displacement of the pile top.

As a new foundation treatment technology, long-short pile composite's design theory is still in primary phase, and there are no explicit settlement calculation methods in active codes. So it is necessary to study the working mechanism and the methods of settlement calculation. In this paper, the mechanics of long-short pile composite foundation are fully discussed. Meanwhile, based on the shear deformation method, the Mylonakis & Gazetas models about mutual action between two piles and the one between pile and soil are introduced, Considering the performance of cushion, the flexible factors of mutual actions are provided. Then the settlement calculation of long-short pile composite foundation which can consider the mutual actions between pile, soil and cap is deduced, and the correlated program is also developed. Finally, an engineering example is discussed with the method. A comparison shows that calculated results and measured data from a field test pile are in a good agreement, indicating that the presented approach is feasible and applicable in engineering practice.

In this study, the model tests were conducted on the short piles installed in sands under a horizontal pullout load to investigate their behavior characteristics. From the horizontal loading tests where dimensions of the pile diameter and length, and loading point were varied, the horizontal pullout resistance and the rotational and translational movement pattern of the pile were investigated. As a result, the horizontal pullout resistance of the pile embedded in sands was dependent on the pile length, diameter, loading point, etc. The ultimate horizontal pullout load tended to increase as the loading point (h/L) moved to the bottom from the top of the pile, regardless of the ratio between the pile length and diameter (L/D), reached the maximum value at the point of h/L = 0.75, and decreased afterwards. When the horizontal pullout load acted on the upper part above the middle of the pile, the pile rotated clockwise and moved to the pullout direction, and the pivot point of the pile was located at 150-360mm depth below the ground surface. On the other hand, when the horizontal pullout load acted on the lower part of the pile, the pile rotated counterclockwise and travelled horizontally, and the rotational angle was very small.

The double-row long-short composite anti-sliding piles system is an effective way to control the landslides with high thrust. In this study, The double-row long-short composite anti-sliding piles with different load segment length (cantilever length) and different pile row spacing were studied by a series of physical tests, by which the influences of load segment length of rear-row piles as well as pile row spacing on the mechanical response of double-row long-short composite anti-sliding pile system were investigated. Based on the earth pressures in front of and behind the piles obtained during tests, then the maximum bending moments of the fore-row and the rear-row piles were calculated. By ensuring a equal maximum moments in the fore-row and the rear-row piles, the optimum lengths of the rear-row piles of double-row long-short composite system under different piles spacing were proposed. To investigate the validity of the reduced scale tests, the full-scale numerical models of the landside were finally conducted. By the comparisons between the numerical and the physical test results, it could be seen that the reduced scale tests conducted in this study are reliable. The results showed that the double-row long-short composite anti-sliding piles system is effective in the distribution of the landslide thrust to the rear-row and the fore-row piles.

Appropriate assessment of lateral capacity of pile foundation is known to be a complex problem involving soil-structure interaction. Having reviewed the available methods in brief, relative paucity of simple and rational technique to evaluate lateral capacity of pile in layered soil is identified. In this context, two efficient approaches for the assessment of lateral capacity of short pile embedded in bi-layer cohesive deposit is developed. It is presumed that the allowable lateral capacity of short pile is generally dictated by the permissible lateral displacement within which pile-soil system may be assumed to be elastic. The applicability of the scheme, depicted through illustration, is believed to be of ample help at least for practical purpose.

근입깊이가 직경에 비하여 상대적으로 작은 말뚝은 편심이 큰 횡방향 하중을 받는 경우 전도되어 파괴된다. 지금까지 횡방향하중을 받는 짧은말뚝의 지지거동에 대해서는 주로 모형실험을 적용한 연구가 수행되었지만, 전주, 표지판, 가로등 기초와 같이 매우 큰 모멘트를 받는 짧은말뚝의 지지거동은 아직까지 명확히 규명된 바 없다. 본 연구에서는 직경 750mm의 실물크기 말뚝에 대한 재하시험을 수행하였다. 실제 하중조건을 모사하기 위하여 기초로 부터 8m 이격된 지점에 횡방향 하중을 가하여 매우 큰 모멘트를 유발하였으며, 말뚝의 근입깊이를 2.0m, 2.5m, 3.0m로 변화시킨 3회의 시험을 수행하였다. 시험결과 큰 모멘트를 받는 짧은말뚝은 파괴 직전까지 변위나 회전각이 거의 발생하지 않다가 전도로 인해 급격한 변위가 발생하는 취성형태로 파괴 되었다. 이러한 거동은 기존의 횡방향 위주의 하중을 받는 짧은말뚝에서 나타난 연성파괴 거동과는 대조적이다. 기존에 제안된 세 종류의 지지력 예측식으로 부터 구한 짧은말뚝의 극한 횡방향지지력을 시험결과와 비교하였으며, 말뚝 근입깊이가 상대적으로 작은 경우는 말뚝선단 중심의 회전을 가정한 제안식이 적절하지만, 근입깊이가 커지면서 회전점을 중심으로 응력방향이 반전되는 토압분포를 가정한 제안식이 보다 적절한 것으로 평가되었다.

본 연구에서는 사질토와 점성토가 혼재하는 해안 매립지반에서 조합형 Sheet Pile 공법의 설계법을 고찰하였고 지반 굴착시의 거동을 해석하였다. 조합형 Sheet Pile 공법의 형태(Built up, Interlocking, Welding) 및 해석방법(엄지말뚝법, 연속벽법)에 따라 흙막이 가시설의 예측 거동이 상이함을 탄소성 해석으로부터 확인하였다. Sheet Pile(측면말뚝) 부재력의 경우 연속벽체 해석법의 결과가 가장 보수적인 결과를 예측하였다. 조합형 Sheet Pile 공법의 최대 부재력을 토대로 각 부재별 응력비(발생/허용)를 분석하면 측면말뚝의 경우 휨, 버팀보의 경우 조합응력에서 최대값을 나타내었다. 유한요소해석결과 측면말뚝의 부재력은 단기 유효응력 해석 조건에서 가장 크게 나타난 반면, 버팀보의 압축력은 압밀 해석에서 크게 나타났다. 탄소성 해석과 유한요소해석 결과를 비교하면, 측면말뚝의 전단력과 버팀보의 축력은 탄소성 해석에서 크게 평가되었고, 측면말뚝의 휨은 유한요소해석의 단기 유효응력 조건에서 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 측면말뚝의 변위는 탄소성 해석보다는 유한요소해석에서 더 크게 예측되었다.
