Abstract
To study the formation mechanism of the lower shaft resistance of uplift piles compared to compression piles, the additional stress caused by uplift and compressive piles in the soil is obtained through indoor model tests with embedded micro earth pressure cells. The study shows that the uplift pile has an unloading effect in pile side soil, and the compressive pile has a loading effect in pile side soil. Closer to the loading point, the unloading effect of the uplift pile and the loading effect of the compressive pile becomes more obvious. The unloading effect decreases the shaft resistance of the uplift pile, and the loading effect increases the shaft resistance of the compressive pile. The tests also reveal that the distribution range of additional stress caused by a single pile is within 6 d from the axis of the pile. After considering the effects of loading and unloading of a single pile, the calculated uplift pile bearing capacity is close to the values of formulas such as Meyerhof and Deshmukh and the measured value.
