Based on the subgrade project of the Xulan High-Speed Railway under Xi’an Metro Line 1 in Shaanxi, China, this study performs numerical modeling to examine the dynamic load factors generated by high-speed railway operation and analyzes the disturbance and vibration effects of subway shield tunneling on soil layers with different stiffness. As the elastic modulus increases, the vibration response of the structure becomes weaker, which means that the disturbance effect on the soil becomes smaller. The refined simulation analysis of the highspeed rail dynamic load and shield tunneling provides valuable insight for theoretical application and engineering practice, especially regarding the management of disturbances caused by subway shield tunneling on surrounding structures.</p>","PeriodicalId":21918,"journal":{"name":"Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140597901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The test results of axially loaded bored piles socketed into the rock are mentioned in this paper. The pile socket involved rocks of various strengths such as gypsum, limestone, and basalt. In reality, axial capacity is calculated from skin friction of the pile, which occurs owing to a very small settlement in the rock socket. The unconfined compressive strength of the rock is collected from the laboratory test. The load-bearing capability of the socketed piles is determined using several empirical methods, which are usually evaluated by a back-assessment of the in-situ pile load test.

The results of testing indicate that the strength of tailings gradually decreases with an increase in the content of fine particles smaller than 0.075 mm. The critical content of fine particles is 35% fine particles smaller than 0.075 mm. The strength, cohesion, and internal friction angle of uniform tailings are greater than those of smaller sedimentary tailings. The critical hydraulic gradient decreases with an increase in the content of fine particles smaller than 0.075 mm, and the critical content of fine particles is again approximately 35%.
