Influence of the Soil Squeezing Effect on the Peripile Soil of Pre-Tensioned H-Type Prestressed Concrete Revetment Pile Construction Based on Field Tests

Pre-tensioned H-type prestressed concrete revetment piles are a newly developed product dedicated to the protection of river, lake, and sea bank embankments, and their cross-section is H-shaped. In this study, a field test of H-type pile soil’s squeezing effect is carried out based on the second pha...

description Pre-tensioned H-type prestressed concrete revetment piles are a newly developed product dedicated to the protection of river, lake, and sea bank embankments, and their cross-section is H-shaped. In this study, a field test of H-type pile soil’s squeezing effect is carried out based on the second phase project of the HujiaShen Line. Pore water pressure, soil displacement, and other parameters of the H-type pile-driving process are monitored in real time. The test results show the following: (1) The influence range of the excess pore water pressure caused by the soil squeezing effect in the horizontal direction is about 14–15D, and in the vertical direction, the pore water pressure within a depth range of about 7D below the pile bottom increases rapidly. Its dissipation rate is fast at first and then slows down, and it completely dissipates 20 days after piling. (2) The excess pore water pressure caused by the soil squeezing effect does not decrease linearly in the radial direction. The soil around the construction pile can be divided into four areas: A, B, C, and D. Among them, A and B belong to the plastic zone, and C and D belong to the elastic zone. (3) The horizontal displacement of the soil occurs within the depth range of 5D from the surface of the pile to the bottom of the pile at the piling location, and the radial influence range is about 8–12D. From a vertical perspective, the main horizontal displacement of the soil occurs in the long section of the pile driven into the soil, showing a “U”-shaped distribution. (4) The dividing point between the vertical displacement uplift and the settlement of the soil appears within the range of 2–3 m from the construction pile, that is, between 5 and 7D. Settlement occurs after the piling is completed, and the settlement rate is fast at first and then slows down. The final settlement of the soil is stable on the 20th day. This research and experiment provide a design reference for the engineering application of pre-tensioned H-type prestressed concrete bank protection piles.
