Abstract:
Integral abutment jointless bridges (IAJBs) with high integrity, favorable seismic performance, and comfortable driving have been widely used worldwide. Steel H-piles have usually been applied in practical engineering to absorb the horizontal reciprocating deformation induced by the effects of ambient temperature or earthquakes. In order to further study the mechanism of interaction of soil-steel H-piles in IAJBs, several reciprocating low-cycle pseudo-static tests on the interaction of soil-steel H-piles under balanced earth pressure, soil-steel H-piles and soil-abutment-piles under unbalanced earth pressure were carried out under horizontal displacement loading based on a practical IAJB. A comparative study was performed to determine their behaviors in terms of the horizontal deformation law, hysteretic curves, energy dissipation and skeleton curves. The test results indicate that the unbalanced earth pressure significantly affects the horizontal deformation of the pile. The horizontal deformation of the HP specimen is basically symmetric under positive and negative loading. Its horizontal deformation gradually decreases along the buried pile depth, then increases in reverse, and finally decreases to zero at the bottom of the pile. For the UHP model, the horizontal deformation is asymmetric. Under positive loading, the horizontal deformation gradually decreases along the buried pile depth, then increases to a maximum in reverse, and finally decreases along the buried pile depth. The law of horizontal deformation is similar to that of the HP model under negative loading. However, the horizontal deformation law of the AHP model is more complex. The horizontal deformation is between the HP model and the UHP model. The test results also indicate that the hysteretic curves of the HP model are plump and symmetrical. The hysteretic curve of the AHP model is significantly asymmetrical. In addition, the bearing and energy dissipation capacities of the AHP model are the highest, whereas the ductility is the lowest. © 2022, Editorial Department of China Journal of Highway and Transport.
