Abstract
AbstractCaves affected the load transfer mechanism of bridge pile foundation, and then the safety of the bridge was threatened. This study was to investigate the effect of karst cave under bridge pile foundations on the vertical bearing characteristics of bridge pile foundations by static load test, finite element analysis and mechanical model. The settlement of the pile was measured by displacement meter, and the axial force were measured by stress gauges in the test. The load-settlement, the axial force, the unit skin friction and the ratios of side and tip resistances were compared with the result of the simulation. Then sixteen conditions were selected in finite element analysis, one of them was a conventional pile not on cave. The others were about five kinds of height, five kinds of span and six kinds roof’s thickness of the cave. The simply supported and fixed wide beam were established to calculate the allowance roof thickness. The results reveal that when the cave span is greater than 9 m × 9 m or the roof thickness is less than 2 D (pile diameter), the stress and deformation of piles are significantly affected.
