Experimental Study on the Negative Skin Friction of Piles in Collapsible Loess
The collapsible loess is widely distributed in western China. The special structure and water sensitivity of loess lead to the complex negative skin friction mechanism in pile foundations. Previous studies mainly focused on the negative skin friction of pile foundations and treatment measures, such as casing and coating methods. However, few studies have focused on the influence of the negative skin friction on the settlement and bearing capacity of piles in collapsible loess, especially environmentally friendly methods that can reduce the negative skin friction. In this study, a series of non-immersion and immersion experiments was conducted to investigate the settlement, axial force, and side friction resistance of piles in loess soil under controlled conditions. The results showed that under the non-immersion condition, the settlement of model piles increased with the increasing pile top load. The axial force gradually decreased along the pile length for piles without casing. The axial force attenuation of the casing section of casing piles was almost negligible due to the isolating frictional resistance effect of casing. The settlement of each soil layer increased with the increase in immersion time, and the process was divided into an initial gradual stage, rapid drop stage, and later gradual stage. Both negative and positive skin friction increased with the increasing immersion time and pile top load, and there was a neutral point. The maximum axial force of piles without casing exceeded the peak load at the pile top. The presence of steel casing reduced the failure of pile foundation in collapsible loess. The research results of this paper provide theoretical support for the application of piles in loess areas.
