Description
Summary:In permafrost regions with warm frozen soil, the pile foundation is commonly used, but most currently available models for the WFS foundation pile–soil system are either highly empirical or overcomplicated, without a simplified theoretical manner in engineering. This study derives a novel and simplified calculated model of the WFS pile–soil system. The model is formulated in terms of the shear deformation theory and load transfer method based on the rigorous deformation mechanism of the WFS foundation soil around the pile. Considering the different depth soil features and the equilibrium state of the pile–soil system, dividing warm frozen soil foundation into three regions (TPPR, ER, and BPPR) to calculate the D p and D s can simply obtain the total displacement of pile under different loads. The results demonstrate that the present theoretical model can well predict the WFS foundation load–displacement response of the pile. The present model provides a simple, practical, and effective approach for the estimation of the load–displacement behavior of piles installed in the WFS foundation.
