Dynamic Response and Failure Mechanisms of Micropiles in Accumulation Landslides Under Earthquake
Micropiles are a new type of retaining structure widely used in slope engineering due to their small footprint, low vibration and noise emissions, and simple construction process. This study aims to investigate the dynamic response and failure mechanisms of micropiles used in retaining accumulation landslides under seismic loading through shaking table tests and numerical simulation. The failure process, observed phenomena, and bending moments of micropiles in the test were discussed, and the shear force distribution of micropiles was thoroughly analyzed based on numerical simulation. The findings reveal that the natural frequency of the entire landslide system exhibits a gradual decrease and tends to stabilize under sustained earthquake excitation. The bending moment of micropiles follows an “S” shape, with a larger magnitude at the top and a smaller one at the bottom. Additionally, the shear force distribution exhibits a “W-shaped” pattern. Damage to micropiles mainly includes the flexural shear combination failure at the load-bearing section (which occurs within 1.4–3.6 times the pile diameter above the sliding surface) and the shear failure near the sliding surface. This study provides significant insights into the strengthening mechanisms of micropiles under seismic action and offers valuable guidance for the design of slope support.
