Abstract
The soils in seasonal frozen regions freeze and thaw frequently, causing severe frost heave and thaw settlement problems, which bring challenges to piles of photovoltaic stents. In this paper, laboratory tests are conducted with different types of screw piles under freezing conditions, with also using smooth piles for contrast. The aim is to simulate the freezing process of screw piles according to practical working conditions based on the similarity principle. Internal thermal resistance is ignored. The change laws of temperature, displacement, as well as the influence factors of types of screw piles are analyzed. The results indicate that: with a freezing depth of 30 cm, which is half of the pile length, large-double-bladed screw piles perform the best in antijacking-up, while all-bladed screw piles perform the worst, independent of the types of soil samples tested. The fitting relationship between jacking-up displacement and freezing depth is also proposed for each type of pile. Results obtained can provide an important reference to site construction in seasonal frozen regions.
