DI Hao
Abstract:Research purposes: In order to study the aseismic behavior of PHC pipe pile under low cycle reciprocating load at lateral pile, numerical simulation and nonlinear analysis based on the test conditions were carried out and the standard specimen of the piles is designed on the basis of domestic relevant specification. Then the low cycle reciprocating load test is carried out and the ductility and energy dissipation capacity of the piles were evaluated. Further the force state and failure mechanism of the piles under imitation seismic action were analyzed. Then the fundamental reasons of the lack of energy dissipation capacity of PHC pipe pile were found.  Research conclusions: (1)PHC pile is short of ductility and energy dissipation. The specimen had brittle failure because the prestressed reinforcement tensile ruptured and the pile cracks did not fully developed. (2)The main reasons of the lack of energy dissipation is that brittle failure of prestressed steel bar limits the development of high strength concrete cracks which inhibits its high pressure bearing capacity. (3)The configuration of non-prestressed reinforcement is suggested to improve PHC piles’ aseismic performance, so as to enhance its application in the structural foundation field of high intensity earthquake area.

XU Hao, LIN Hong-song, TIAN Chun-xiang, YAN Hua
Abstract:Research purposes: Bridge end rotation will produce additional uplift force or down force of fastener system on ballastless track, which will lead to failure of fastener system, so we must limit the angle of bridge end rotation. In order to study the limit angle of bridge end rotation, the finite element model for calculating force of the fastening system at bridge ends of heavy haul railway was established in this paper. The influence of the angles of rotation at bridge ends, fastening system space at the bridge crevice, pad stiffness and overhanging lengths of bridge ends on fastening system at bridge ends were analyzed. And the limit values of the single bridge end rotation under different pad stiffness and overhanging lengths of bridge ends are gained on the angle at which the uplift force does not exceed the uplift limits of the fastener.  Research conclusions: (1) The influence of the fastener system space at bridge crevice on the force of fastener system is small, whereas the influence of the pad stiffness and overhanging lengths of bridge ends on the force of fastener system is large. (2) The bigger the pad stiffness and overhanging lengths of bridge ends are, the less limits angle of rotation at single bridge ends is. (3) The bridge clockwise rotation limit angle is less than counterclockwise rotation limit. (4) The limit angle of rotation at single bridge end should be fixed according to the design parameters of fastening system and then check the uplift force of fastening system could meet the uplift limit of fastener.
