Abstract:
The pseudo-static tests and extended parameter analyses on the Reinforced Concrete (RC) pile-soil interaction considering slope effect were carried out to study the effect of slope on pile-soil interaction in integral abutment jointless bridges. The influence of the slope effect on the mechanical behaviors of RC pile-soil system is discussed. The results reveal that the hysteresis curve at slope side exhibits less plumpness compared to the opposite side of the slope. This plumpness decreases with decreasing distances from pile side to slope crest, leading to a gradual reduction in pile-soil interaction. When the distance from pile side to slope crest decreases from 2 times pile diameter to 0 and 2 times pile diameter from slope crest to pile side, the maximum horizontal forces of pile head at slope side decrease by 15.0% and 28. 6%, respectively. Moreover, the maximum soil resistances surrounding the pile decrease by 18. 2% and 26. 6%, and the maximum bending moments of the pile decrease by 8.0% and 16.9%, respectively. When the distance from pile side to slope crest is 2 times pile diameter and the slope angle is less than 20 or the distance exceeds 4 times pile diameter, the influences of the distance and slope angle on the mechanical behaviors of pile-soil system are minimal. In such cases, the slope effect can be neglected in the design of pile. The mechanical behaviors of pile-soil system remain unaffected when the pile displaces towards the opposite side of the slope. However, the friction angle of the slope soil has a significant impact on the mechanical behaviors of pile-soil system. Consequently, clay with a smaller friction angle should be preferred in engineering. © 2023 Southeast University. All rights reserved.
