Testing Study on Bearing Behavior of Belled Large-diameter PHC Pipe Pile by NAKS (Nakabori Kakutei System) Construction Method

摘要

Through field static load test and pile shaft axial force test, field testing study is conducted on bearing behavior of NAKS-construction-method belled large-diameter PHC pipe pile; besides, the test result is compared with that of hammering-method PHC pipe pile and bored pile with same pile length and diameter under the same site condition. The result shows that the ultimate bearing capacity of NAKS-construction-method belled large-diameter PHC pipe pile is slightly inferior to hammering-method PHC pipe pile but obviously superior to that of bored pile. Compared with traditional hammering-method pipe pile, the pile side resistance of NAKS-construction method belled pipe pile is smaller; however, the higher toe resistance will give better play to bearing capacity of bearing stratum of pile toe; moreover, it is found that under the action of ultimate load and failure load, the maximum settlement and final settlement of NAKS-construction method belled pipe pile tip are obviously lower than that of other test piles, which is conductive to lessening foundation settlement of upper structure.
