Abstract:Research purposes: The sheet-pile retaining wall is a common protection engineering for railway slope and it is necessary to dig the soil in front of the pile before building the plate between the piles. In order to ensure the stability of the soil between piles,the anchors are usually built from top to bottom on excavation face. There are many risks in construction of the sheet-pile retaining wall,especially when the cantilever is high,the soil between piles is easy to collapse because the reinforcement mechanism of anchors between piles is very complex. This may brings the hidden trouble to the construction and the increase of the cost for refilling soil to the back side of the sheet-pile wall. This paper mainly researches the soil arching effect between piles and the reinforcement mechanism of anchor arm to provide the help for design and construction of the similar projects.
Research conclusions:(1)The collapse risk of the soil between piles can be effectively reduced by building a certain amount of anchor arms between the piles. The anchor arms can tightly connect the unstable soil between piles. The soil is compacted by soil arching for stabilizing the real soil. The compacted soil around the soil arching cycle plays a role of anchoring section.(2)The results of numerical analysis show that anchor should be arranged in the proper position with more density between the two adjacent cantilever piles because of the geometric influence of the soil arching effect between piles. This arrangement can produce a better reinforcement effect than the uniform arrangement.(3)The drilling depth of the pile anchor can be designed like this: the upper is shorter and the lower is properly longer, however, the drilling depth should not exceed 1 .5 times of the spacing between piles. If the lower part of the soil between piles is rather compacted,reduction of the drilling depth of the small anchor arm can be considered.(4)Most of reinforcing the soil between pile with anchor arm are used for further improving the stability of piles and soil and reducing the risk of road operation caused by the soil collapse and dropping between piles,or for beautifying the environment around the road.
