Abstract
For the angle tower foundation of 750kV transmission line, the overturning effect caused by wire tension is a control factor of tower foundation design. The pile foundation on loess was taken as a research object in this study, where two typical regions along 750kV Lanzhou - Tianshui - Baoji transmission line were selected to carry out the site full-size horizontal static load test. Through the arrangement of displacement sensors and earth pressure cells around piles, the load-displacement curve of pile lateral soil under horizontal loads was obtained as well as the distribution law of soil stress at different locations of the pile. Based on the "m" method, the soil stress at different locations of the pile was calculated. The results showed that the calculated results were well consistent with experimental results. This research work can provide a theoretical basis and design guidance for tower foundation selection and design optimization of 750kV transmission line.
