Abstract

By analyzing the present research results on the concrete expanded-plates pile, the article presents further preliminary studies of their influence on the bearing capacity and failure behavior when the bearing plate is put adjacent to different characteristics of soil and thickness of soil layer. The pile calculation mode for ultimate compression and uplift bearing capacity of the soil failure mechanism of the concrete expanded-plates pile under different conditions is also improved. The study results ensure the rationality and reliability of the design and the applicability of this type of pile in the actual project.

Keywords: Different characteristics soil, the concrete expanded-plates pile (the CEP pile), thickness of soil layer, uplift bearing capacity.
