Abstract
This study investigated the performance of screw piles under uplift. The screw piles were installed in sand in the laboratory and uplifted to evaluate the effects of the screw thread pitch and relative density of sand on the pile uplift capacity. The uplift capacity was compared with that of the shaft pile using the digital image correlation technique. Discrete element modelling was used to further examine the load-sharing characteristics, axial force, and shaft friction of the screw pile. The results suggest that the screw pile outperformed the shaft pile in terms of uplift capacity, pilesand interactions, and load transfer. The improved uplift performance is attributed to the screw threads reaching out to a larger volume of sand particles to resist the uplift. An equation was also proposed to determine the uplift capacity.
期刊介绍:
The Canadian Geotechnical Journal features articles, notes, reviews, and discussions related to new developments in geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering, and applied sciences. The topics of papers written by researchers and engineers/scientists active in industry include soil and rock mechanics, material properties and fundamental behaviour, site characterization, foundations, excavations, tunnels, dams and embankments, slopes, landslides, geological and rock engineering, ground improvement, hydrogeology and contaminant hydrogeology, geochemistry, waste management, geosynthetics, offshore engineering, ice, frozen ground and northern engineering, risk and reliability applications, and physical and numerical modelling.
Contributions that have practical relevance are preferred, including case records. Purely theoretical contributions are not generally published unless they are on a topic of special interest (like unsaturated soil mechanics or cold regions geotechnics) or they have direct practical value.
