Research on Engineering Characteristics of Cement Mixing Piles Strengthening Steel Sheet Pile Structure Wharf

Abstract

In order to solve the technical problem of using steel sheet piles in soft soil foundations of deep water docks, the use of grid type cement mixing pile walls to reinforce the in-situ soft soil behind steel sheet pile docks is a new type of composite structure attempt. This paper combines practical engineering and uses finite element analysis software to study the vertical displacement, vertical stress, and horizontal displacement changes of reinforced soil in three layout forms: non-mixing pile structure, grid type cement mixing structure, and dispersed mixing pile structure. The results show that the grid type cement mixing pile structure can reduce soil settlement, improve the stability of reinforced soil, and reduce lateral soil pressure on steel sheet piles compared to the non-mixing pile structure and the dispersed mixing pile structure. In the practical application of steel sheet pile wharf engineering, the use of grid type cement mixing piles can improve the stability and engineering benefits of the wharf structure.
