Model Test Study on the Vertical Uplift Bearing Characteristics of Soil Continuous Solidified Pile Group Foundations

To solve the problem of the high bearing capacity of structures in deep and weak soil layers, we invented a new type of pile group foundation in which the soil was continuously solidified between piles (hereinafter referred to as the SCS pile group foundation). Considering the two key factors of pile spacing and CSM depth, the antipulling load characteristics of SCS pile group foundations in dry sand were studied via indoor half-model tests and numerical simulations. The results showed that the ultimate uplift capacity of the SCS pile group foundation with a 2D–6D CSM depth was about 2–3 times that of the traditional pile group. When the stiffness of the CSM is so large that its effect can be ignored, the greater the pile spacing is, the greater the ultimate uplift capacity is. For the same pile spacing, the greater the depth of the CSM is, the greater the ultimate uplift bearing capacity is. When the CSM depth is greater than 10D, the uplift effect of the CSM can be effectively exerted, and the antipulling advantage of the SCS pile group foundation can be fully utilized. This study provided a reference for the antipulling design of SCS pile foundations.
