Study of Safety Influence Factor of Bridge Substructure in Loess Gulch

Abstract

In this paper, the geology characteristics of loess gulch area were summarized. The mechanical models of the influence of landslide, debris flow and soil erosion on the safety of the pile foundation were created. The influence of the geology casualty on the safety of the pile foundation were analyzed. The analyses showed, when the pile foundation located the varied position of the loess gulch, the influence of soil erosion on the pile foundation character (acting force of pile side, free length of the pile, the first zero point position of the flexure curve, drawdown of the maximum bending moment, the increment of the lateral displacement, the drawdown of the lateral bearing capacity, the drawdown of the stability, etc.) were strikingly different. The calculation method of the pile and pier internal force was put forward under the function of landslide thrust and pressing force of debris flow. The corresponding prevention measures to different influencing factors were presented in the end.
