    MODEL EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF ROCK SOCKETED PILE IN SLOPE STRATA SUBJECTED TO HORIZONTAL LOADING

    • Stratum structure of gravel soil-bedrock slope foundation is common in southwest China. The upper layer is slightly crushed stone and the lower bedrock is mainly weathered-slightly weathered thick quartz sandstone. The weak interlayer is black phyllite. Rock quality is good. For a rock-socketed pile foundation built on slopes and subjected to horizontal loads, the bedrock of the overlying soil and embankment is often inclined. If structural inclination of the rock changes, the strength of the rock specimen would also change. If the bedrock of embedded section exists and the bedding plane has inclination angle, it often affects the horizontal bearing property of pile foundation greatly. Therefore, the bedrock level is one of the main factors affecting the horizontal bearing capacity of rock-socketed pile. At present, there is little research on the horizontal bearing capacity of piles for the level inclination of embedded section. This article digs deeper into this aspect of theory. The physical model test is carried out at Physical Simulation Laboratory, Chengdu University of Technology. It uses a single pile water static load test. It uses small blocks of masonry and polyethylene film to simulate the structural plane of the rock formation. Loading method maintains load slowly. Jack is placed at the back of the pile to apply horizontal load. Each level load is 0.3 kN. The rock-socketed piles under four conditions are simulated by changing the inclination of bedrock of the embedded section. Model pile length is 1 meter. The embedded depth of the model pile is three times of the pile diameter. The exposed pile top length is equal to the pile diameter. The top soil and bedrock slope are 30 degrees in gravel soil-bedrock slope foundation site. Bedrock is complete bedrock and bedding inclination respectively horizontal, forward 30 degrees, reverse 30 degrees. The test data are obtained as follows. The top displacement of pile top, the maximum value of bending moment of pile body and the maximum position of bending moment, the position of maximum shear force and the maximum shear value of pile body are obtained with the variation of loads. Then the bearing capacity of pile foundation under different inclinations is analyzed. The critical load, ultimate load, pile foundation horizontal bearing capacity characteristic value and the maximum pile bending moment value and the maximum pile shear force value of the piles at different grass-root levels are compared. Finally, the effect on the bearing capacity of horizontal loaded rock-socketed pile is studied. The results show that in the slope site, the existence of bedrock in embedded section can reduce the horizontal bearing capacity of rock-socketed pile. Compared with the intact bedrock, when the bedded bedrock in horizontal section exists, the critical load decreases by 17%, the maximum bending moment decreases by 23% and the maximum shear force decreases by 37.5%. However, the horizontal bearing capacity of rockfill piles drops more when the base level of the embankment is inclined. The influence of the maximum bending moment point and the position of the maximum shear point on the inclination change of bedrock inclination in the embedded section is relatively small. The location of the maximum bending moment is almost unchanged. The position of the maximum shear point is reduced by 1 times of pile diameter when the bedrock of the embedded section is forward 30 degrees and reverse 30 degrees. This study can be used as a reference for the design of rock-fill piles bearing horizontal loads on layered and slope rock mass foundations with different dip angles.
