Research on the overall bearing behavior characteristics of the all-vertical-piled wharf under horizontal load

Abstract

Based on the ANSYS model, the simulation analysis of the all-vertical-piled wharf is carried out. It is found that the zero point of the pile displacement of the all-vertical-piled wharf is about 6 times the depth of the pile width (pile diameter) below the mud surface. The difference in pile displacement changes under various working conditions below this position is very small, and the pile displacement above this position is positively correlated with the horizontal load. Through research, the pile displacement curve and load-displacement curve of the all-vertical-piled wharf are constructed, and the method for determining the overall ultimate bearing state of the all-vertical-piled wharf is established. The research results can provide a reference for the study and judgment of the overall bearing safety of the all-vertical-piled wharf under horizontal load.
