Abstract
In the context of increasing environmental awareness and the demand for sustainable construction practices, the use of recyclable materials in civil engineering projects has gained significant attention. This study focuses on the bearing characteristics and deformation behavior of recyclable steel-pipe piles during the excavation of foundation pits. Field experiments and numerical simulations were conducted to comprehensively analyze the stress characteristics and surface settlement patterns behind the piles. The results reveal critical insights into the interaction between the steel-pipe piles and the surrounding soil, providing a detailed understanding of the stress distribution and deformation mechanisms. An empirical method for calculating the surface settlement value, induced by foundation pit excavation under the support of steel-pipe slope protection piles, has been proposed. This method improves the accuracy of settlement predictions and enhances the reliability of foundation pit design.
