Vertical bearing capacity behaviour of single T-shaped soil–cement column in soft ground: laboratory modelling, field test, and calculation
Abstract The T-shaped soil–cement column is a variable-diameter column, which has an enlarged column cap at the shallow depth, resulting in the column shape being analogous to the letter “T”. In this study, 1-g laboratory and full-scale field loading tests were employed to investigate the vertical bearing capacity behaviour of a single T-shaped column in soft ground. Pressure cells were set in a T-shaped column in the field to measure the vertical column stress above and below the column cap during the loading test. After the loading test, several columns were excavated to investigate their failure modes. The results indicated that, since the section area of the column cap was remarkably higher than that of the deep-depth column, the stress concentration occurred in the deep-depth column just under the cap, leading to column failure. Based on this failure mode, a simplified method was proposed to estimate the ultimate bearing capacity of a single T-shaped column; the comparison of estimated and measured results indicated the applicability of the proposed method.
