-
摘要:
为研究螺旋钢桩在砂土中的横向承载-位移行为,考虑桩土间的非线性相互作用,选取3种
p-y 曲线(p 为单位长度土反力,y 为桩身横向位移)进行横向承载行为预测比较. 首先,分析现有经典砂土p-y 曲线和2种基于CPT参数的p-y 曲线(幂函数和双曲线)特点,尤其分析3种方法的不足;其次,通过在螺旋板影响区引入线性变化的修正因子对3种p-y 曲线进行修正,以考虑螺旋板的横向承载作用;再次,采用有限差分法求解螺旋钢桩横向受荷弯曲微分方程,通过迭代求解桩身位移;最后,根据文献中进行的螺旋钢桩横向承载现场试验,将3种修正后的p-y 曲线预测结果与现场实测值进行误差与统计分析. 结果表明:双曲线修正后p-y 曲线预测的荷载-位移结果与实测更为接近,预测结果与实测结果的平均比值为1.04,拟合度达到98.5%;双曲线方法的平均绝对百分比误差为11.63%,而幂函数方法和经典p-y 曲线方法的平均绝对百分比误差分别为36.32%和24.35%,双曲线的95%置信区间表明的平均预测误差在−6%~11.9%,而在90%置信区间的平均误差则在−4.6%~10.5%,证明了该方法的可靠性. 研究结果可为螺旋钢桩横向荷载-位移行为准确预测提供参考.Abstract:In order to investigate the lateral load–displacement behavior of helical steel piles in sand, by considering the nonlinear pile-soil interaction, three
p-y curves (p denoted soil reaction per unit length, andy denoted lateral displacement of the pile shaft) were selected to predict and compare lateral bearing behaviors. First, the existing classical sandp-y curve and two CPT-basedp-y curves (power function and hyperbola) were analyzed, and their shortcomings were identified. Second, a linearly varying correction factor was introduced within the helical plate influence zone to modify threep-y curves, thereby incorporating the lateral bearing action of the helical plates. Third, the finite-difference method was employed to solve the bending differential equation of the laterally loaded helical steel pile, with pile shaft displacements obtained through iterative solution. Finally, by using the field tests of lateral bearing capacity for helical steel piles conducted in the literature, the prediction results of the three modifiedp-y curves were subjected to error and statistical analysis against the actual field measurements. The results show that the hyperbola-modifiedp-y curve produces load–displacement predictions closest to the measurements, with an average predicted-to-measured ratio of 1.04 and a goodness of fit of 98.5%. Among the three methods, the hyperbola approach yields the mean absolute percentage error of 11.63%, compared to 36.32% for the power function method and 24.25% for the classicalp-y curve method. Its 95% confidence interval for mean prediction error spans from −6.0% to 11.9%, and the average error of 90% confidence interval spans from −4.6% to 10.5%, which verifies the reliability of the method. These findings provide a robust reference for accurately predicting the lateral load–displacement behavior of helical steel piles.-
